Leviticus 5:5-6 (ESV Strong's)
5 when he realizes his guilt in any of these and confesses the sin he has committed, 6 he shall bring to the Lord as his compensation for the sin that he has committed, a female from the flock, a lamb or a goat, for a sin offering. And the priest shall make atonement for him for his sin.
They say confession is good for the soul, but it is essential for the life of the soul. Confession of our sin to Jesus brings us to the repentance necessary to receive His mercy and forgiveness. This is the washing of our feet that cleanses us from the dust of the world we unavoidably collect as we walk on this earth.
He has made the atoning offering for our sin with His own body. We bring our body and soul to Him, the priest and mediator of the body of Christ, and we are healed by His light.
