What Do We Mean By Confession?

Confession in English content is a formal statement admitting that one is guilty of a crime. To understand this in the meaning of our topic, Confession prayers before taking Holy communion “ for our partaking in the Holy communion to be acceptable we must confess all our sins so that our communion exercise will not just be a religious activity and unacceptable to God  just like we read in our bible text above.

 Holy Communion is a great sacred practice in the Christian union demonstrating the eating of the body of Jesus and drinking his blood showing we are joint with Christ. One of the interpretive issues in this passage is what it means to “eat the bread or drink the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner” (v. 27). In the Corinthian assembly, eating and drinking in an unworthy manner meant eating and drinking excessively at the communal meal, with the result that other brothers went hungry. Other forms of partaking unworthily could be imagined, but it is only a sin in the manner of partaking communion that is spoken of. Notice Paul does not say that you are better off not taking communion than partaking with unconfessed sin in your life, nor does he say, “Confess your sins before taking communion.” He only warns against sinning in the actual manner in which communion is observed. For these reasons, confession prayers must be taken before partaking in the Holy Communion.

Steps To Take  Before Taking The Holy Communion.

1. Consecrate yourself the bible says in” Leviticus 11:44 – For I am the Lord your God. Consecrate yourselves therefore, and be holy, for I am holy. God cannot behold iniquity, light and darkness cannot stay together one must stay and the other must leave. This is the reason why we must strive to live a holy life and also forgive anyone that offended you, confess ever known and unknown sins.
2. Secondly is to prepare yourself mentally, be sure you are ready don’t just do it for religious sake be deliberate just like we read in our anchor text above in 1corinthians 11:28.
3. Give thanks to God with all your heart, enter His court with praise and with reverence. Psalm 9:1 I will give thanks to the Lord with all my heart.
4. Then we can go ahead and partake of the Holy Communion.
