CONFESSION OF SIN – Book of Common Prayer

In light of God’s coming justice, it is imperative that sinners like us seek refuge in the Lord’s mercy now, lest we also should be swept away by his wrath. As David says in Psalm 34:22, “The LORD redeems the life of his servants; none of those who take refuge in him will be condemned.” Let’s use this time in our service now to confess our sins before the Lord and to seek refuge in his abundant mercy and grace. Pray with me this prayer aloud:

“Almighty God, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 

Maker of all things, Judge of all men, 

we acknowledge and bewail our manifold sins and wickedness, 

which we from time to time most grievously have committed, 

by thought, word, and deed, against your divine Majesty, 

provoking most justly your wrath and indignation against us. 

We earnestly repent, and are heartily sorry for these our misdoings. 

The remembrance of them is grievous to us, the burden of them is intolerable. 

Have mercy upon us, have mercy upon us, most merciful Father, 

for your Son our Lord Jesus Christ’s sake. 

Forgive us all that is past, 

and grant that we may ever from now on serve and please you 

in newness of life, to the honor and glory of your name, through Jesus Christ our Lord. 

Amen.”

ASSURANCE OF PARDON – Hebrews 9:27-28

In Hebrews 9:27-28 the Word of God assures 

those who seek refuge in the name of Christ stating:

“And just as it is appointed for man to die once, 

and after that comes judgment, so Christ, 

having been offered once to bear the sins of many, 

will appear a second time, not to deal with sin 

but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him.”

Let’s continue to celebrate this great salvation hope we have received in Christ!
