Christian community, whether it be in the home or in the church, should be characterized by confession and forgiveness. Christians should be quick to confess their sin and quick to forgive sins committed against them. Unfortunately, Christians are not always very good at practicing confession and forgiveness. Beginning this week, we will conduct an extended study of this practice, starting with unpacking the familiar words of Psalm 32:1-2, "Blessed is he whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered. Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord does not count against him and in whose spirit there is no deceit."

How does the Holy Spirit assure us of our salvation, as the Heidelberg Catechism says he does? We will study John 14:15-26 to find out.

Given our natural inclination to avoid confession and repentance at all costs, it should come as no surprise that a lot of people, Christians included, are not very good at it. We will study Psalm 32 one more time to understand the anatomy of true confession.

In our final look at Q & A #1, we will focus our attention on the phrase, "[the Holy Spirit] makes me wholeheartedly willing and ready from now on to live for him." What is the goal of the gospel? That we would make much of God, not that he would make much of us.
