Confession

Of our sins & the Lordship of Christ

In Matthew 16:16, Jesus has asked the disciples who they think He is. Peter confesses with his mouth that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God. Confession is simply acknowledging with one's mouth, the Lordship of Christ in their lives. But a second part of confession stems from our being able to confess as well that we are sinners, have sinned, are sinning and need to be forgiven, restored and reconciled back to God through Christ. (1 John 1:9, Psalm 32:5)
