Things to Consider:

• When it comes to how readily you are able to confess your struggles and sins to some trusted fellow believers in Christ, where would you rate yourself on the scale below?

                    |      I freely confess to trusted friends, without hesitation
                    |
                    |      I confess to trusted friends, but reluctantly
                    |
                    |     I would be willing to confess, if I had friends I could trust
                    |
                    |      I confess my sins to God alone
                    |
                    |      I don't confess to anyone, including God 

• ​​What does your answer above say about the kind of gospel you believe? Is it a gospel of grace alone, a gospel of grace plus works, or a gospel of works alone?
• When was the last time you had someone confess a personal sin or struggle to you? What does your answer say about the level of grace you give to others? What does it say about the level of grace you receive from God or others?
• Describe your openness to the consideration that you have been believing a false gospel, rather than the gospel of grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone.
