To whom should we confess our sins?

We ought to confess our sins to God, as He is the one we have ultimately offended and the one who holds the authority to forgive (Psalm 51:4). The Gospel teaches us that confession should be directed to Christ, our High Priest, who mediates between us and God (Hebrews 4:14-16). Unlike human priests or ministers, Only Christ can absolve sin and restore our standing with God. He is the only mediator through whom we can approach the Father, ensuring that our confession is met with grace and mercy.
