To confess our sins means we do two things with our sins: <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. We recognize sin for what it is in God’s eyes.<\/li>\n
  2. We get rid of our secrets and are honest with another Christian about our weaknesses, vulnerabilities, failures, then have them pray for us to overcome those sins.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    James’ language is powerful. He mentions that this confession doesn’t just bring forgiveness, it brings healing. So, let’s confess our sins to each other, and pray for each other, so we can bring healing to relationships, the family of God, and be a demonstration of reconciliation and healing to the world.<\/p>\n

I want to live for you and not let my sin, any sin, entangle me and draw me away from you. Through the mighty name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
