Covering sins

Covering sins

He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy (Proverbs 28:13).

We should not cover our sins but confess and forsake the same so that we shall have mercy of God. This is reiterated in 1 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". The children of God need to examine their lives daily for any secret sins which are not confessed to God.
