The Power of Confession

By Giovanna Bovero

After accepting Christ as my savior, I convinced myself that if I let people see my brokenness, they wouldn’t want to be around me. Scripture repeatedly shows us the opposite, and a woman from my bible study boldly sharing her story of struggling with sins, leading to an outpouring of confession, is a model example of how grace shown in a community of Christ’s followers can actually lead to revival.

There is healing power in confessing our sins to other believers, and we’re called to stand with our brothers and sisters in the fight, carrying each other’s burdens.

Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.
Galatians 6:2

As we pursue confession to experience healing, we can walk away with a few practical steps:
1. Confess your sins to God and allow mercy to flood in.
2. Kneel before Him in repentance.
3. Seek community with believers and confess your sins to them.

Confession isn’t an action item to check off on our long to-do list for the day; it’s a catalyst for transformation, and an open door for God to step through that leads to healing.
