Re:Verse passage – Nehemiah 9:1-3 (day six)
Because of all this we are entering into a binding covenant in written form; our leaders, our Levites, and our priests have affixed their names on the sealed document. Nehemiah 9:38
Confession and repentance go together, but they’re not the same. In Nehemiah 9, confession happens in verses 1-3, but repentance doesn’t occur until verse 38 when they renew their covenant to obey God. Confession is naming our sin before God. Repentance is turning from obeying the false gods of this world and re-aligning our lives under King Jesus.
They’re the two sides of real faith. Confession without repentance stays stuck. Repentance without confession misses the heart.
When repentance becomes communal, it creates a new culture—one shaped not by the age, but by allegiance to Christ.
