Confession is a very important part of the Christian life. Confession means admitting something. When we confess our sins, we acknowledge our mistakes and ask God for forgiveness. God forgives those who confess their sins.
Another very important confession is admitting our faith in Jesus as our savior. This confession is an act of faith. We cannot hide our faith. Confessing Jesus as savior in front of other people is a way of spreading the gospel.

for your love;
for your great compassion
blot out my transgressions. Wash me of all my guilt
and cleanse me from my sin. for myself
I recognize my transgressions,
and my sin always pursues me. Against you, against you alone, I have sinned
and I did what you reproached,
so that just is your sentence
and you are right to condemn me. I know I'm a sinner since I was born;
yes, since my mother conceived me. I know that you desire the truth in your heart;
and in my heart you teach me wisdom. Cleanse me with hyssop, and I shall be clean;
wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
