Psalms 103: 2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits. 3 Who forgives all thine iniquities; who heals all thy diseases; 4 Who redeems your life from destruction; who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies.
Coming clean does not necessarily mean exposing all your gory details on Jerry Springer or Judge Judy. It means that we go to God first and confess our sins and where there is a decision, and good efforts to turn away from sin, the blood of Jesus will cover our wrongs, for He has the legal authority to do so…. Psalms 103:8 The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy. 10 He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
That being said, the Scriptural requirements should be diligently followed, for we are to go to The Lord in prayer, acknowledging the wrongs where wrongs have been done, and we are to turn away from evil, so that when God wipes our slate clean, there will be nothing to hide. The blood of Jesus is not employed in covering up unconfessed sins which we know of, but His grace is accorded to all who will come clean, by not trying to hide sin, excuse sin, or blame others for wrongs we have done.
When Daniel was wrongfully accused by his fellows, he did not become desperate when they launched a series of investigations into his conduct, because the truth would be revealed as they probed his doings. Throughout their inquiries Daniel remains calm and composed, for he had nothing to hide and therefore when their investigation would come to a close, the findings would vindicate Daniel.
Psalms 103:11 For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him. 12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
