How Confession relates to Reformation

Having been informed of the remnant's infidelity to YHWH via marriage to pagans, Ezra immediately & righteously freaks out in a massive confessional prayer of intercession.

1. Confession of their own sinfulness

2. Confession of God's Justice in punishing their sin

3. Confession of God's Grace to His people.

A very practical sermon for believers in the new covenant, who like Israel of old are called to be holy, even as YHWH who called them is holy.
