10 Biblical Reasons Why You Should Confess Your Sin To A Priest. by Nobody: 3:37pm On Nov 27, 2015
Some people may not know it or be aware of it, but they are over 10 reasons from the bible why you should confess your sin to a priest –we expose these secret of the bible, so that a lot people may know about it. Here are the 10 biblical reasons why you confess your sins to a priest.
1 PEOPLE DID IT IN THE OLD TESTAMENT
See Leviticus chapter 4. Also Lev 4: 31….in this way the priest shall offer the sacrifice for the man’s sin, and he will be forgiven.
2 MAN HAS POWER TO FORGIVE SIN
2cor 2 : 10 when you forgive people for what they have done, l forgive them – if indeed, I need to forgive anything - l do it in Christ presence because of you that is St. Paul talking.
3 JESUS CHRIST GAVE THE POWER TO PRIESTS
John 20 : 21-22 Jesus said to them again ‘peace be with you ,as the father sent me so l send you, then be breathed on them and said ‘Receive the holy spirit. If you forgive people’s sins,They are forgiven. If you do not forgive them they are not forgiven
4. OTHER CHRISTIAN GROUPS DO HEAR PEOPLE’S CONFESSION (BUT DON’T FORGIVE SIN)AS COUNSELING.Phil 4 : 8
5. IT IS THE NEW TESTAMENT CONDITION FOR FORGIVING SINAct 19: 18 and many who had believed came confessing and telling their deeds’see Also Mt 3:6
6. IT EXPOSES THE WORKING OF SATAN. It exposes the type of sins in our lives, gravity of sin, so that the priest would know the workings of Satan. 2 cor 2 : 11 …in other to keep Satan from getting the upper hand over us; for we know what his plans are?
7. THEY PRACTICE THE POWER TO BIND & LOOSE Mt 18 : 18 Assuredly, l say to you whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in Heaven
8. IT IS A WAY TO CONFESS SINS TO ONE ANOTHER James 5:16 so then, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, so that you will be healed. The Prayer of good person has a powerful effect
9. MAKING USE OF YOUR SPIRITUAL FATHER.We tell our father about our activities, why not tell our spiritual fathers “priest” 1 cor 4:15-16For in your life in union with Christ Jesus l have become your fathers by bringing the good news to you?
10. TALKING TO REPRESENTATIVE OF GOD
We need to confess our sins to God to be forgive 1 John 1:9 but this can be best done through his representatives on earth- the Priest or Christ ambassadors Eph 6:20 … for the sake of this gospel l am an ambassador.
