The wrong we have done 2. That we are sorry we have offended God and hurt other people 3. We admit to God all our sins, even those which are not known to us. When we confess our sins, God answers us. Our sins are washed away because of the blood of Jesus Christ shed for us on Calvary's cross.
Private confession has two parts.
First of all,we can go to the pastor and confess our sin or sins. God has given us private confession and absolution as a privilege . Private Confession and Absolution is a way in which God tells us personally through the pastor, that our sins are forgiven. Sometimes it makes us feel better to share with another human being and to hear that forgiveness in a one on one situation. Holy Communion is the true Body and Blood our Lord Jesus Christ given with bread and wine, instituted by Christ Himself for us to eat and drink.
