I learned from today's topic that we should confess our sins to one another, and that when we offend someone, we should learn to ask for forgiveness from that person first, after we should seek the face of God. We must not be mislead into confessing to someone we perceive to be a representation of God, for every man is a representative of God; if we offend someone, we must seek forgiveness from that person we offended because is the person that has right to forgive us as a human. When another person offends us we should not have them at heart instead we should learn to forgive him or her and ask God to forgive them. If we learn to ask for forgiveness from people when we wrong them we shall obtain God's forgiveness if we confess and repent of our sins, but if we cover our sins we will not prosper if we keep them hidden. This is what the Bible has to say about it. Proverbs 28:13.
We should not be frightened to trust God and not rely on our own abilities when we pray; rather, we should place our whole trust and reliance in God and his mercies. God's peace is exceedingly valuable because it cannot be bought and can only be provided to us by God, because God's peace brings no sorrow. There is a God who can help us and who hears us when we call out to him. Experiencing God's peace is the most essential thing in life. God's presence is required in every element of our existence. Only God can help us at times when no one else can; you can reach Him via prayer. There is no problem that God cannot solve. When you ask, do so with faith, not dread or doubt, and with thankfulness in your heart.
Important points;
Confess your sins to one another, and when you sin against a brother, ask for forgiveness from both him and God. Confession of sins to a Catholic priest is not biblical. When your brother offends you, ask God to forgive him and also you to forgive him. If we admit and repent of our sins, we will be forgiven; nevertheless, if we hide them, we will not be forgiven.
Formal believe:
What I learned today did not contradict my formal beliefs; rather, it gave me a better grasp of the word.
How does the study affect our daily lives:
The word will have an impact in our lives if we obey it and put it to good use. The word will progressively manifest in our lives if we obey it and put it to good use.
Thank you.
Thanks be to God for listening on our meeting.

II CORINTHIANS 4:18
While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
