The provided text, "Do You Confess? The Necessity of Confession to Christ" by J. C. Ryle, underscores the crucial role of confession in Christian faith. Ryle argues that all individuals are sinners and must confess their transgressions to God for salvation and inner peace. The author emphasises that this confession should be made directly to Christ, who serves as the ultimate High Priest, possessing the power, willingness, knowledge, tenderness, and empathy required to forgive sins. Conversely, Ryle firmly dismisses the notion of confessing to saints, angels, or living ministers, asserting that such practices lack Scriptural basis, are unnecessary, and can be detrimental. The text concludes with an exhortation for readers to embrace and maintain a lifelong habit of confession to Christ, highlighting its importance for spiritual well-being and eternal life.
