Whether you confess your sins or not, God through Christ has already forgiven all your sins. Your forgiveness was purchased before you existed, so there is no way confession of sins can determine what He did years ago.(I know this leaves many questions unanswered, but keep reading—you will discover more radical scriptural truth.)

That same question appears twice in the Bible—with answers directly following. First Mention Romans 6:1

Your Identity in Christ The moment you accept Christ, your identity changes. You become a new creation. The old is gone, and the new has begun. Your past experiences—or even your present struggles—cannot define or change your identity in Christ. 2 Corinthians 5:17 (NKJV)“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old
