LUTHERAN HOUR MINISTRIES Confession and Absolution Click to watch video. Questions or Comments?

LUTHERAN HOUR MINISTRIES Confession and Absolution This is also called the “Office of the Keys,” a unique power God has given the church to forgive sins (or not). (Jesus said) “I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.” Matthew 16:19

LUTHERAN HOUR MINISTRIES What Is Confession? It is admitting our sins to God and trusting His promise of forgiveness. It has two parts: Contrition – being sorry for our sins Trust – that in Christ there is forgiveness

LUTHERAN HOUR MINISTRIES What Is Absolution? It is the wonderful gift of God’s pronouncement that our sins are forgiven through Christ’s sacrifice on the cross. "I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven … and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.“ Matthew 16:19 “This is as valid and certain in heaven also, as if Christ our Lord had dealt with us Himself.” Luther’s Small Catechism

LUTHERAN HOUR MINISTRIES Why Is It So Important? First, we have offended God and seek His forgiveness. Second, without forgiveness, we carry a burden of guilt. (Jesus said) “Therefore repent. If not, I will come to you soon and war against them with the sword of My mouth.“ Revelation 2:16 “For when I kept silent, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long. … I acknowledged my sin to You, and I did not cover my iniquity; I said, ‘I will confess my transgressions to the LORD,’ and You forgave the iniquity of my sin.” Psalm 32:3,5

LUTHERAN HOUR MINISTRIES Why Would Someone Not Be Forgiven? When unrepentent people exclude themselves from God's forgiveness, the purpose of church discipline (excommunication) is to show how serious God is about sin. “Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into Him who is the head, into Christ.” Ephesians 4:15 “… Purge the evil person from among you.” 1 Corinthians 5:13b

LUTHERAN HOUR MINISTRIES DISCUSSION Why are confession and absolution so important? When would private confession and absolution be important? How should receiving forgiveness (absolution) change your life? Is it really loving to excommunicate someone?
