Reasons why confessing our sin to another aids in spiritual victory (Jas. 5:16): 1. It forces us to identify our sin and deal with specifics as compared to the general, “God forgive me for my sins.” 2. It pulls us out of spiritual isolation. 3. It eliminates any temptation toward hypocrisy since at least one other person is aware of our weakness. 4. It promotes humility which is needed to fight the flesh. 5. It encourages accountability. 6. It gets others to bear our burden. 7. It solicits prayer from others in this spiritual battle.
