In addition to forgiveness, what are other benefits from confession?

Psalm 32:5Finally, I confessed all my sins to you and stopped trying to hide my guilt. I said to myself, “I will confess my rebellion to the Lord.” And you forgave me! All my guilt is gone.

When you confess your sin, God removes your guilt.

Psalm 51:12Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and make me willing to obey you.

When you confess your sin, God restores your joy and willing obedience.

James 5:16Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results.

When you confess your sin, God transforms you from the inside out.
