Is it appropriate to ask a person to confess his or her sin if that sin was directed against me? - Confession - TouchPoints

Matthew 18:15-17“If another believer sins against you, go privately and point out the offense. If the other person listens and confesses it, you have won that person back. But if you are unsuccessful, take one or two others with you and go back again, so that everything you say may be confirmed by two or three witnesses. If the person still refuses to listen, take your case to the church. Then if he or she won’t accept the church’s decision, treat that person as a pagan or a corrupt tax collector.”

God wants us to treat sin seriously, whether it is in ourselves or someone else. It can be appropriate to lovingly confront a person. Sometimes people will respond well, see what they did wrong, and want to restore the relationship with you. Other times, they may refuse to confess, thinking they have done nothing wrong. It takes great wisdom and the discernment of fellow believers to work through these kinds of disagreements and determine next steps. Always cover all such situations with prayer.
