Praying Like the Master: Part 6
Forgive Us our Debts
Praying Like the Master - Part 6 - Why do we need to confess sins, if Christ has already promised blanket forgiveness? For the same reason that a person who has been rude to their parents needs to apologize; it’s how relationships work. There are immense benefits in confessing our sins directly to God. First, we remember the cross. God is faithful and just. He won’t charge us for a sin that has already been paid for by Christ’s death. Second, we take responsibility for our sin by naming it specifically, and that leads to true repentance and change. Third, we are motivated to show mercy to others, and that leads to forgiveness and reconciliation.
