Give Glory to God for His Patience and Willingness to be Reconciled

Confession 2.19 | KJV

I must give to God the glory of his patience and long-suffering towards me and his willingness to be reconciled.

O the riches of the patience and forbearance of God! Romans 2:4(KJV) How long-suffering is he towards me, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:9(KJV)

Thou hast not dealt with me according to my sin, nor rewarded me after my iniquities, Psalm 103:10(KJV) but thou waitest to be gracious to me. Isaiah 30:18(KJV)

Sentence against my evil works has not been executed speedily, Ecclesiastes 8:11(KJV) but thou hast given me space to repent and make my peace with thee, Revelation 2:21(KJV) and callest even backsliding children, such as myself, to return to thee and hast promised to heal my backslidings; and therefore, behold I come unto thee, for thou art the Lord my God. Jeremiah 3:22(KJV)

Surely the long-suffering of my Lord is salvation; 2 Peter 3:15(KJV) and if the Lord had been pleased to kill me, he would not as at this time have showed me such things as these. Judges 13:23(KJV)

And O that this goodness of God might lead me to repentance! Romans 2:4(KJV) For though I have trespassed against my God, yet now there is hope for me in Israel concerning this thing. Ezra 10:2(KJV)

Thou hast said it and hast confirmed it with an oath, that thou hast no pleasure in the death of sinners like me, but rather desire that I should turn and live. Ezekiel 33:11(KJV) Therefore will I rend my heart, and not my garment, and turn to the Lord my God; for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger and of great kindness. Who knows if he will return and repent and leave a blessing behind him? Joel 2:13-14(KJV)

Understand the Condemning Nature of your Sin

Confession 2.18 | KJV

I must judge and condemn myself for my sins, and own myself liable to punishment.

And now, O my God, what shall I say after this, for I have forsaken thy commandments? Ezra 9:10(KJV) I have sinned; what shall I do unto thee, O thou preserver of man? Job 7:20(KJV)

I know that the law curseth every one that continues not in all things that are written in the book of the law, to do them; Galatians 3:10(KJV) that the wages of every sin is death; Romans 6:23(KJV) and that for these things’ sake the wrath of God cometh upon the children of disobedience. Ephesians 5:6(KJV)

And I am guilty before God; Romans 3:19(KJV) the Scripture hath concluded me under sin; Galatians 3:22(KJV) and therefore thou mightest justly be angry with me, till thou hadst consumed me, so that I should neither be of your remnant nor able to escape. Ezra 9:14(KJV)

If thou shouldest lay righteousness to the line and judgment to the plummet, Isaiah 28:17(KJV) thou mightest justly separate me unto all evil, according to all the curses of the covenant, and blot out my name from under heaven. Deuteronomy 29:20(KJV)

Thou mightest justly swear in thy wrath that I should never enter into thy rest; Psalm 95:11(KJV) mightest justly set me naked and bare, Hosea 2:3(KJV) and take away my corn in the season thereof, Hosea 2:9(KJV) and put into my hands the cup of trembling, and make me drink even the dregs of that cup. Isaiah 51:17(KJV)

Thou art just in whatever thou art pleased to lay upon me; for thou hast done right, but I have done wickedly. Nehemiah 9:33(KJV) Nay, that my God has punished me less than my iniquities have deserved. Ezra 9:13(KJV)

Thou therefore shalt be justified when thou speakest and clear when thou judgest; Psalm 51:4(KJV) and I will accept of the punishment of my iniquity, Leviticus 26:43(KJV) and humble myself under thy mighty hand, 1 Peter 5:6(KJV) and say, The Lord is righteous. 2 Chronicles 12:6(KJV)

Wherefore should a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins? Lamentations 3:39(KJV) No, I will bear the indignation of the Lord, because I have sinned against him. Micah 7:9(KJV)

Consider your Evil Sins in Light of the Corrections you have Received and the Vows you have Made

Confession 2.17 | KJV

The greater afflictions I have been under for sin, the greater is the sin if I go on in it.

Thou hast stricken me, but I have not grieved; I have refused to receive correction and have made my face harder than a rock, Jeremiah 5:3(KJV) and the rod hath not driven the foolishness out of my heart. Proverbs 22:15(KJV)

Thou hast chastened me with the rod of men and with the stripes of the children of men, 2 Samuel 7:14(KJV) yet I have not turned to him that smiteth me, nor have I sought the Lord of hosts. Isaiah 9:13(KJV)

When some have been overthrown as Sodom and Gomorrah were, I have been as a brand plucked out of the fire; yet have I not returned unto thee, O Lord. Amos 4:11(KJV) And when thy hand has been lifted up, I have not seen it. Isaiah 26:11(KJV)

The more vows and promises I have made of better obedience, the greater has my sin been.

I have not performed the words of the covenant which I have made before thee; Jeremiah 34:18(KJV) but as a treacherous dealer, I have dealt treacherously. Isaiah 24:16(KJV)

Did I not say I would not transgress, Jeremiah 2:20(KJV) I would not offend any more? Job 34:31(KJV) I did, and yet I have returned with the dog to his vomit; 2 Peter 2:22(KJV) I have returned to folly after God hath spoken peace. Psalm 85:8(KJV)
