When Achan who had disobeyed God was found out ,he was told by Joshua ,'To give glory to the Lord,the God of Israel,and honour Him',and confess what he had done. ( Joshua 7 v 19 )When a believer sins he dishonours God,but all is not lost,Matthew Henry says the following,'In confessing sin, as we take shame to ourselves, so we give glory to God as a righteous God, owing Him justly displeased with us, and as a good God,who will not use our confessions as evidence against us, but is faithful and just to forgive when we are brought to own, that He would be faithful and just if He should punish'.When King David sinned he was willing to live with it, even marrying the wife of the man he had murdered,but when His sin was exposed,he confessed and God forgive him,but God also justly punished him. ( 2 Samuel 12 .CP Psalm 51)
'You may ignore your sin
BUT GOD WON'T'
