   5. What does the word "confess" mean? What is involved in the confession of our sins?
   6. If we receive forgiveness of our sins--past, present and future--when we receive Christ as our Savior, why do we subsequently need to confess our sins?
   7. What happens in our lives when we refuse to confess our sins? (see Ps 32:1-5). Can you illustrate this from your own personal experience?

   10. Why is it important to allow the Holy Spirit to show you what sins you need to confess? What is the danger of being overly introspective regarding your sins?
   11. How often should you confess sin?
   12. If a person has confessed his sins and has claimed the forgiveness of God and still has a guilt complex, what should he do?

   1 John 1:9 "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."

   Ephesians 5:18 "And do not get drunk with wine, for that is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit."

   1 John 5:14-15 "And this is the confidence which we have before Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests which we have asked from Him."
