“For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.” (Psalm 51:3)
The first step in getting right with God is to acknowledge that we are not right with God. Trying to hide our sins from our fellow man is impossible. Imagine attempting to hide our sins from Him whose eyes are in every place, beholding the evil and the good. (Proverbs 15:3)
David begins his prayer of confession by appealing to God for mercy. David knew that his sin was not the fault of another person, bad circumstances or bad environment. He never called his sin “a mistake.” He referred to his sin as, “transgressions,” “iniquity,” and “evil.”
An eraser will wipe out mistakes. It takes the blood of Jesus to cleanse us from sin. If you are tired of trying to hide your sin, take it to the cross of Jesus, confess it and leave it there.
