Knowing someone loves us is nice, isn't it? But having them TELL us that they love us is much better! Forgiveness works the same way- the Bible tells us that when we confess we are forgiven but most of us our skeptical by nature- we need to hear it. Absolution is the spoken assurance that God hears your confession and forgives your sins. We may believe what the Bible says but there is undeniable power for freedom in Absolution!
