Becoming Superhuman – Confessing our Sins – Episode 6
Vayikra / Leviticus 5:5
ה וְהָיָ֥ה כִֽי־יֶאְשַׁ֖ם לְאַחַ֣ת מֵאֵ֑לֶּה וְהִ֨תְוַדָּ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֥ר חָטָ֖א עָלֶֽיהָ׃
James 5:16
טז הִתְוַדּוּ עַל חֲטָאֵיכֶם אִישׁ לִפְנֵי רֵעֵהוּ וְהִתְפַּלְּלוּ אִישׁ בְּעַד רֵעֵהוּ, לְמַעַן תֵּרָפְאוּ. גָדוֹל כֹּחָהּ שֶׁל תְּפִלַּת צַדִּיק בִּפְעֻלָּתָהּ.
Here we find examples from the Torah and the NT text, each text is separated by thousands of years and yet this truth remains true, that we must admit to God, to ourselves, and to others the exact nature of our wrong doings. We are sinners who are in need of a savior. Once we confess our sins we have the proper Kavanah (intention) seeking the mercy of God for the forgiveness of sins. (1 John 1:6-10) Confessing our sins is part of becoming superhuman!
