Why do we confess?
Confession is the natural reaction to entering the presence of a holy God.
(Isaiah 6:1-5, Luke 5:8)
Sin disrupts our relationship with God—even when we’re “saved.”
(Colossians 1:21, 1 John 1:8-10)
Reconciliation requires the sinner to acknowledge their sin to God. (2 Chronicles 7:14, Psalm 32:5, Psalm 51:16-17, Proverbs 28:13, )
Why do we forgive?
Reconciliation depends on the sinner hearing that they have been forgiven.
(Isaiah 40:1-2)
God has assured us of his forgiveness through Scripture.
(Exodus 34:6-7, Psalm 103:9-12, Joel 2:13, Matthew 11:28, Acts 7:25, 2 Corinthians 5:17, 1 John 1:9-2:2, etc)
God has commissioned the church to offer his forgiveness to the world (2 Corinthians 5:17-6:1).
What does “Confession and Reconciliation” do?
Confession preaches the Gospel.
Confession trains us to see ourselves truthfully.
(1 John 1:8-2:1
Confession reconciles us to God. (James 5:13-16, John 20:21-23, Matthew 18:15-20, Matthew 16:15-19)
Confession reconciles us to each other.
(Matthew 6:12, Ephesians 4:32, Colossians 3:13)
Conclusion
Following Jesus means being honest about our failures—and his victories!
As God’s people we have the honor—and responsibility—to share God’s forgiveness.
Confession and forgiveness have the power to transform lives, communities, and the world.
Wherever the church truly proclaims the forgiveness of sins there the healing ministry is verifiably at work.
Who can tell the incalculable results of the word of absolution for the integration of human personalities?
Who can say how many demons are being exorcized, how many potentialities of mental trouble, neurasthenia and even organic disease are being rooted out by the assurance pf pardon and renewal?...Never let us doubt the immense tides of healing energy--for soul and mind and body--which may flow through every Church and every ministry that faithfully proclaims the apostolic word: "The blood of Jesus Christ His Son goes on cleansing us from all sin." (1 John 1:7)
