What I do not find is that it is required that one seek God's forgiveness in this manner.

Is God the only one affected by our sin?

Is God the only one affected by our sin?

Of course not ... 'unless you think as David did ... ;^)'

Psalm 151:1 Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.

2 Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.

3 For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.

4 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest.

We should seek forgiveness from those others affected by our sin, as well.
