Repentance is composed of contrition and faith in Christ. And when the Holy Spirit is producing repentance in a sinner's heart through the Word of God, one of the fruits of that repentance will be confession of sin. David's confession in Psalm 32 reveals two elements in confession--full acknowledgment of the wretchedness of one's sin (and one's sinfulness), and total abandonment of all cover-ups. And when we are thus moved to confess to the Lord, we receive the joyous release of His forgiveness in Christ. We apologize for an error in recording. A portion of the end of the message was not recorded on Sunday.
