327. What sins should we confess before our neighbor?

We should confess to our neighbors our sins against them. We recognize the harm our sin has done to our neighbors, and we seek their forgivenes and reconciliation.

James 5:16 Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.

Matthew 5:23-24 If you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there before the altar and go. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.

Read Genesis 50:15-21; Colossians 3:12-15; Philippians 4:2; and Luke 19:1-10.
