Confessing our sins together as the whole body of Christ in a worship service can feel like a strange thing to do. Especially for those who didn’t grow up in more liturgical traditions. But, at a most fundamental level, why do we confess our sins as Christians? We do it because we are all sinners. When we confess our sins, we admit this truth, even if we didn’t struggle with that particular sin over the past week. Even if we didn’t, it is likely we will in the future! But, when we confess our sins, both corporately and individually, God is faithful and just to forgive us our sins. So, in confession, we find relational forgiveness and wholeness because of God's character and love towards us.
