What’s The Difference Between Confession and Repentance?

~ When it comes to the proper understanding of keywords used in the bible it is wise to go to the Holy Spirit in prayer and ask for proper understanding and wisdom. And it says in the word of God that the Holy Spirit will give us that. Many times, the words used in the bible have been altered in meaning to be something that it was never intended to be. Confession and Repentance are two of those words that a person ascribes different meanings to them based on their own understanding of things. Many falsely believe, confession is asking for God to forgive you of your sins. And also falsely believe that repentance means to repent of all of your sins, as though someone can repent of all of their sins. But the truth of the matter is the word confess means to agree with God. When we agree with God that Jesus took away all our sins (my sins) at the cross, we are agreeing with God, and confessing it is so. Additionally, when a person repents, they are NOT repenting of all of their sins, for no one can nor have they ever repented of all of their sins, because they still continue sinning. But repentance is when a person changes their mind in regards to who Jesus Christ is, and places faith in Him, and for what He did on the cross, taking away all their sins from the sight of God, never to see them again, then they have repentance unto LIFE. The Holy Spirit comes to live in that person forever and makes them a child of God. We repent from our unbelief and turn to Jesus by faith.

Many people are refusing to listen to the teaching of the Holy Spirit today. Instead they think they are repenting of all of their sins and on a daily basis are getting their sins forgiven today. It’s a very subtle thing that Satan has convinced them of, yet it is despising the grace of God. For they have refused to believe the truth, “Your sins are forgiven at the cross.” And so they are storing up wrath upon themselves, because they have believed the lie and not resting on the finished work of Jesus at the cross.

Ask God for wisdom in this and he will give it to you generously for you to understand it in your heart.

~ “Or do you show contempt for the riches of his kindness, forbearance and patience, not realizing that God’s kindness is intended to lead you to repentance? But because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of God’s wrath, when his righteous judgment will be revealed.” ^{Romans 2:4,5}

~ “If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.” ^{James 1:5}

~ The issue of repentance, there’s only repentance is a changing of mind as you said, and when you change your mind because you’re not born a believer, that’s something we have to change your mind of whatever you were believing if it was nothing to believing in the death, burial and resurrection of Christ Jesus and the implication of that event on your life. And when that occurs, you’re born again. And the confessing of Christ Jesus as your Lord is a part of that repentance. But we put way too much emphasis on the technicalities. The heart is what says, I have changed my mind, I am going to become a believer. Right. And that confession, of course, takes place for that takes place. In your heart.” ~ Bob George

“But in fact the ministry Jesus has received is as superior to theirs as the covenant of which he is mediator is superior to the old one, since the new covenant is established on better promises.” ^{Hebrews 8:6}
