Confession Elevates God's Glory
Sin not only affects individuals but also endangers the community, as highlighted by the stories of Achan and Jonah. Achan's sin led to the withdrawal of divine support for Israel, demonstrating the communal consequences of personal wrongdoing. Joshua addresses Achan not by chastising him for the harm caused to others, but by urging him to recognize the gravity of robbing God of His glory and the need for repentance. True repentance involves acknowledging God’s greatness and our failures to honor Him, as shown in Jonah's realization of his ungratefulness and folly in trying to flee from God's presence. The focus should be on restoring God's glory and understanding the importance of giving God priority in our lives.
