So , why do we have to CONFESS sins today ??

You either need to confess your sins that God will forgive you OR your sins are ALREADY forgiven. It's one or the other. It can't be both.
I can tell you right now, my sins are already forgiven and so are yours!
Ephesians 1:7 KJV In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
Ephesians 4:32 KJV And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
Colossians 2:13 KJV And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
Think about it. All of your sins were in the future when Christ was delivered for your offences after having been made sin for you (2 Corinthians 5:21 KJV) and died on the cross for your sins!
Romans 4:25 KJV Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.
1 Corinthians 15:1-4 KJV Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
The Bible calls the good news above, the gospel of Christ and IT is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth! Romans 1:16 KJV. Believing that gospel which Paul preached is to believe that Christ died for all of your sins. If you think there is something you still need to confess you don't believe your sins have been forgiven. You "believe not" the glorious gospel of Christ.
2 Corinthians 4:3-4 KJV But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: 4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
