Is the Discipline of Confession Working in You?
The Discipline of Confession is the event of responding to the Gospel's message, then acknowledging our faith publicly. It is the obedience to commit ourselves to leading a life that is worthy to be called Christian, as our new life is in Christ. So, is your life worthy? What do you want to do in your life? Does it correspond to God's Word? The Discipline of Confessions will also allow us to recognize, then confess our sins to God and allow others to hold us to it. His work is there; the question is, will we respond to it by faith? Confession will motivate us to yield to the work of the Spirit within us. Our confession helps remove the blockage and allows His work to flow. We have to be willing to declare: I, as a follower of Christ, bought and paid for by His shed blood, must acknowledge my own sinful nature. If this is not in your practice and in your mindset, you will fall way short of His plan and possibly even His redemption for you. The Discipline of Confession will allow us to take a hard look at ourselves and hear what others say, so we can better give ourselves over to Christ as Lord.
