The Confession of Sin

The Call to Repentance - Hebrews 10:28-31

Anyone who has rejected Moses’ law dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. Of how much worse punishment, do you suppose, will he be thought worthy who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, counted the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified a common thing, and insulted the Spirit of grace? For we know Him who said, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord. And again, “The LORD will judge His people.” It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

The Prayer of Confession (after silent confession)

All: O LORD, we have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity, and we have done wickedly. We soon forget your works and do not wait for Your counsel. We have not believed Your word; we have complained and have not heeded Your voice. We have provoked You to anger with our deeds. Nevertheless, regard our cry and remember Your covenant, according to the multitude of Your mercies. Save us, O LORD our God, to give thanks to Your holy name. Through Christ our Lord. Amen. (Psalm 106)

The Assurance of Pardon - Colossians 1:21,22 “Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of your evil behavior. But now he has reconciled you by Christ’s physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation.”
