Learning Confession and Repentance from the Psalms and Reformers | Rev. Kasey Horvath
Manage episode 451151974 series 3413464
This lecture by Rev. Kasey Horvath at the Niagara Conference 2024 explores the doctrine of confession and repentance, drawing insights from Psalm 51 and the teachings of the Reformers, particularly Martin Luther’s 95 Theses. It emphasizes the biblical components of true penitence—contrition (how one feels about sin), confession (acknowledging sin before God), and repentance (a change of heart and behavior). Contrition reflects the emotional weight of guilt, confession brings cleansing through Christ’s atoning sacrifice, and repentance demonstrates transformation through measurable change in one’s actions. Highlighting the Reformers' focus on these doctrines, the lecture connects historical theological insights with practical applications for believers today, urging a holistic understanding of faith, repentance, and sanctification as vital aspects of Christian life and witness.
