This verse is a conditional verse. That means that we have to do something in order for the rest of the verse to come true. The first part talks with confessing our sin. This is a rather difficult thing for us to do. Pride is a constant thing that gets in the way of us confessing our sins. On paper it seems so easy to just say that yes I am a sinner but in a group of people it is tough. I know everyone else is a sinner and the Bible tells me that their sin is no different. But me being a stupid human I can't help but judge or rank sin.
The second part of this verse is what we so desperately need to come true. If we confess our sins, then He will forgive them and this verse makes a note to say that God is faithful to forgive our sin. Whereas humans are not always faithful to forgive each other, God is. This doesn't mean that we will not have to suffer the consequences but we will be made righteous with God in heaven. Praise God for his faithfulness to forgive even when we don't deserve it.
