Hab 1:13 [NASB]
Your eyes are too pure to approve evil,
And You can not look on wickedness with favor.

Sanctification
- Sin is the problem.
- Christ is the solution.
- Confession is man’s access to said solution.

Sanctification
To be made holy. To be set apart for God’s purposes.

Sanctification: The 3 P’s
- Positional:  saved from the penalty of sin
- Experiential:  saved from the power of sin
- Ultimate:  saved from the presence of sin

1Co 14:33
For God is not a God of confusion but of peace.
There’s always a positive result of confessing to God.

Ps 32:3
For when I kept silent, my bones wasted away
through my groaning all day long.

Confession vs. Punishment
Confession of sin reorients one’s thinking with God’s (reconciles our thoughts). Punishment is discipline meant to train us to not sin that way again.

Obedience That Follows Confession
There’s much greater glory to God if a person obeys Him out of a desire to bring Him glory than it is to obey out of a desire to simply avoid being disciplined.

Self-Induced Misery
To live in sin is a choice. To refuse to confess that sin is to remain in it, under the judgment (and punishment) that it incurs. Punishment for believers may be quantified, minimally, as a loss of peace.
