LitBit Commentary – Rowan Williams on Confession

“Belief in Christ involves (if our discussion has been on the right lines thus far) a vision of the entire human world as a network of oppression and privation, in which no one is wholly free from the responsibility of making victims: so that penitent awareness is indispensably part of reconstructed humanity.”

Rowan Williams, Being Christian, p.55

“If we go to confession, it is not to plead for forgiveness from God.  It is to thank him for it… When God forgives our sins, he is not changing his mind about us.  He is changing our minds about him.  He does not change, his mind is never anything but loving: he is love.” Herbert McCabe, God, Christ and Us, p.16.

LitBit Commentary – On Confession of Sin 1

LitBits Logo - 2

We are not our own judges. We can neither justify our sin nor guarantee the righteousness of our good works. We stand before God only because, in the bad and the good, God stands for us, not simply wanting that we be good, but making it that we are. This is the gospel, the free humanity of Jesus given to be our very own, no judgement to fear.
