BIBLE STUDIES

* Topic: The Cleansed Life (How to be Clean)

* Text: Mr. Joseph Titus

1. What is the condition for cleansing and forgiveness?

★ 1st John 1:9 → "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."

* Confessing our sins is one of the conditions by which God will forgive us

2. What 2 things did the Psalmist do about his sin in Psalm 32:5?

→ He acknowledged and confessed his sin

3. According to Proverbs 28:13 what is the result of not admitting sin?

→ The result is lack of prosperity

→ The result of admitting sin is finding mercy from God

4. What is confession of Sin and how is it done?

→ This is a deliberate attempt by the sinner to make right his relationship with God

→ Confession depends on the circumstance

→ Before confession, one must admit

5. What kind of prosperity does Proverbs 28:13 talk about?

→ Spiritually (your relationship with God is cut off due to unconfessed sin)

→ Peace with God is affected

→ Physically - The joy of the Lord will depart; expectations will be cut off

★ Matthew 6:33 → "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."

* Once you seek spiritual property, physical prosperity will come with peace
