    It's not confession that saves, but repentance. The life of repentance is nothing but following God on the path leads AWAY from sin. Acknowledging your sin, and asking God's help to rid your life of it, are essential steps in this. It's a life-long process, and the hells, from which the desire to sin comes, desire nothing more than your condemnation and destruction. But the Lord secretly fights on your behalf. And one day that fight will be over, and you will find yourself alone with God. And He will say, "where are your accusers? Has no one condemned you?" and you will say, "no one, Lord," and he will say, "Neither do I condemn you. Go now, and sin no more."
