Minute Meditations

Confession

• A good confession not only reconciles the individual with God and helps bring peace and order into his or her life but also “prepares the ground,” so to speak, for renewal
• Confession helps us think more clearly about our sins, recognize our need for God’s grace to live in a way that pleases him and strengthen our resolve to resist the temptation to sin
• Confession is the necessary prerequisite to forgiveness. And not only confession but also making things right. It's not enough to confess the sin: The sin has to stop, and the damage has to be undone.
