1 Kings 15:5: "For David did what was straight before the Lord and did not deviate from all that he had commanded him every day of his life, but in the case of Uriah, the Hitheum." This verse shows the story of David as a man who always sought to do what was straight in the eyes of God, but who fell into sin and had to ask for forgiveness.
Isaiah 1:18: "Come, then, and let us, say the Lord; even if your sins are like scarlet, they will become white like snow; even if they are red as Carmesim, they will become like there." This verse shows that God is willing to forgive and wash all our sins, making us pure again.
Proverbs 28:13: "Which covers your transgressions will never prosper; but what confesses them and will leave mercy." This verse shows that confession is an important step in achieving God's forgiveness.
1 John 1:9: "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and purify us from all injustice." This verse reinforces the importance of confession and shows God's faithfulness to forgive us.
Romans 3:23-24: "For all have sinned and deprived are of the glory of God; being justified free of charge by His grace, by redemption in Christ Jesus." This verse highlights our sinful nature and shows that justification and forgiveness come through the grace of God through Christ.
