Chris,
A Christian is someone who believes the words of Jesus Christ.
Here is verse I find comforting:
“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness”. 1 John 1:9
From what you posted, that is exactly what you did.
I also find that verse comforting.
Thank you so much for sharing it with me, Right-wing Librarian.
