What does confession of sin mean in the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

Confession of sin is acknowledging one's unworthiness and need for Christ, as demonstrated through baptism.

The act of confessing one's sins in the biblical context involves an acknowledgment of personal sinfulness and the need for divine grace. In Matthew 3:6, those baptized by John the Baptist were expressing their repentant hearts by confessing their sins publicly. This confession signifies a surrender of self-reliance and an admission that only Christ can provide hope and redemption. It encapsulates the essence of repentance — a turning away from one's own supposed righteousness and a complete reliance on Christ's sacrificial work for salvation.
