We must understand that the sin we commit is never hidden because it remains fully exposed before God. God sees our heart, our actions and He knows our intentions. The concealment of sin or lack of accountability that is so prevalent in Christian communities, often produces further rebellion and more trouble. Your confession of sin is necessary, and it requires true humility and honesty, it requires admission in conjunction with repentance; because to renounce sin means we abandon it instead of preserving it.
