True confession acknowledges the violation of God's character. [It says] 'this is why my action was wrong; it's because I did not represent God well to you. True confession acknowledges that my failure negatively affected you as the other person … True confession is a statement of a new-life purpose to make God known. If my purpose in life is not to accurately represent and make God known, I am not confessing. I am manipulating.
