In confessing sin, as we take shame to ourselves, so we give glory to God as righteous, owning him justly displeased with us. In the objective sense, God needs no exoneration. Let God be true, and every man a liar. But there is something to be said subjectively when a man confesses his sin.

00:00:00.000 In less than a year, our podcast has gone from an average of 10,000 downloads a month
00:00:04.300 to 50,000 downloads. What made the difference? You leaving us a five-star review. The more
00:00:10.260 positive reviews, the more the algorithm picks us up, and more people are confronted by the law
00:00:16.360 and gospel of Jesus Christ. Help us press forward the crown rights of King Jesus by leaving us a
00:00:23.480 five-star review on your favorite podcast platform. Thanks.
00:00:30.000 Jesus said, man cannot live on bread alone, but from every word that proceeds from the
00:00:34.480 mouth of God.
00:00:35.600 You're listening to Daily Truth.
00:00:39.780 Matthew Henry, again, in commentating on these particular verses of our text, says this.
00:00:46.260 Note, in confessing sin, as we take shame to ourselves, so we give glory to God as righteous.
00:00:55.700 owning him justly displeased with us again old language but what this late great puritan is
00:01:06.060 essentially saying is that one of the ways we glorify god is by way of consequence
00:01:12.400 the way of consequence being by owning our sin when we own our sin
00:01:20.700 we exonerate God. In the objective sense, God needs no exoneration. Let God be true,
00:01:32.360 and every man a liar. But there is something to be said subjectively when a man confesses his sin,
00:01:41.480 as David does in Psalm 51 verse 4. Against you and you only have I sinned and done what is evil
00:01:51.000 in your sight so that I'm confessing that I did it, only I did it, and I did it against you
00:01:59.780 so that you may be justified in your words and blameless in your judgment. God would have been
00:02:07.340 justify whether David confessed his sin or not. He would have been blameless whether David repented
00:02:14.400 or not. But there is something to be said outside of the objective ultimate truth category within
00:02:21.760 the subjective interpersonal confession and repentance realm, that when we say, I sinned,
00:02:29.460 in our hearts we are saying god is exonerated i think of the book of james let no one say
00:02:40.300 when he is tempted i am being tempted by god for god cannot be tempted nor does he tempt any man
00:02:49.080 but each man is led astray by his own desire desire if not dealt with sin at the level of
00:02:57.800 desire eventually gives birth to sin, and sin, when fully grown, brings forth death.
00:03:05.340 James is saying a lot in that particular passage, but one thing that he is certainly saying is that
00:03:10.880 God is not to blame. One of the things that we do, brothers and sisters, when we confess our sins
00:03:17.780 before the Lord, is we exonerate Him. Or, as Joshua says in our text today,
00:03:24.140 My son, give glory to the Lord God of Israel
00:03:29.000 and give praise to Him.
00:03:33.280 Joshua recognizes the two birds
00:03:37.380 that are killed with a singular stone.
00:03:41.220 Or for the Californians,
00:03:43.320 the two birds that are fed by one scone. 0.97
00:03:47.900 Joshua recognizes that in the confessing of Achan's sin, 0.96
00:03:51.240 He is indicting himself and simultaneously in one foul swoop, giving glory to God. 1.00
00:04:00.500 I'm responsible. God is blameless. It's just as what David does, so that you may be justified
00:04:08.340 in your words and blameless in your judgment. Confessing sin indicts us and exonerates God.
00:04:18.920 In the objective sense, God is always exonerated.
00:04:25.480 In the objective sense, let God be true in every man a liar.
00:04:31.740 Is God responsible for sin?
00:04:35.120 May it never be. God forbid.
00:04:38.300 But there is something to be said in terms of our individual relationship with God.
00:04:43.320 For us to say that which is already true, whether we said it or not,
00:04:47.660 it still does good to the soul of a man to say,
00:04:52.680 I was wrong.
00:04:54.940 God is right.
