THE LAW OF GOD – Third Commandment

CONFESSION OF SIN [Sinners’ Prayer]
Lord God, we are sinners. We violate Your commandments every day - in our thoughts, in our words, and in our actions; in what we have done, and in what we have failed to do. We deserve death and hell.
Our God and King, we are sorry for our sins. Please forgive us. We are trusting in Jesus Your Son. We love His perfect obedience. We love His perfect sacrifice on the cross. We yield to Him again as our Lord and Savior.
Thank You for Your faithful covenant love. Thank You for saving us. Thank You for making us Your children. Our God and our King, our lives belong to You. Be near us and lead us, today and forever. In Jesus Name, Amen.

*CONFESSION OF FAITH The Nicene Creed
We believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible.
And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of his Father before all worlds, God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God, begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father; by whom all things were made; who for us and for our salvation came down from heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the virgin Mary, and was made man; and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate; he suffered and was buried; and the third day he rose again according to the Scriptures, and ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father; and he shall come again with glory to judge both the living and the dead; whose kingdom shall have no end.
And we believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son; who with the Father and the Son together is worshiped and glorified; who spoke by the prophets; and we believe in one holy catholic and apostolic church; we acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins; and we look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.
