But if we confess our sins, God is faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us from all wrongdoing.Verse 14 can be paraphrased as: If we remember that we are God's creation, not the Creator, we will find peace. But if we try to take the role of the Creator, we are bound to fail and be unhappy.Think about this: To receive forgiveness for the wrong things we do, we need to confess our sins instead of hiding them out of shame. By turning away from our sins and seeking God’s forgiveness, we are given grace.
