Is Confession of Sins a Biblical Practice?
Bible Questions & AnswersChristians are to confess their sins directly to God, as no man can forgive sins. Jesus Christ, our High Priest, is the sole Mediator between mankind and God, ever living to make intercession for those who come to God through Him. When we sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous, who is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and He is faithful to forgive when we confess to Him. Thus, we can come boldly to God's throne of grace. While Scriptures encourage confessing faults to one another for mutual prayer and support, this differs from confessing past sins, which should generally be reserved for God alone, as only He can forgive and forget them, preserving our human relationships from lasting stain.
