THE LAW OF GOD – The Fourth Commandment
CONFESSION OF SIN [Adapted from Matthew Henry]
We have sinned against you, O Lord, our Maker, our Defender, and our
Redeemer. Our natures are corrupt and sinful; prone to fall away from you,
sluggish to do good and swift to do evil. Vain thoughts have come upon us
and found lodging within us, defiling and disquieting our minds, and keeping
out good thoughts. We have burdened ourselves with that care which you
have commanded us to cast upon you. We have failed in our duties one to
another, and have provoked one another as much to folly and anger as to
love and good works. We have been cold in our love to you, weak in our
desires toward you, unsteady in our walking with you, and are even at this
time poorly prepared to serve you. We beseech you--Forgive all our sins,
for Christ’s sake, and be at peace with us in Him Who died to make peace
and lives to make intercession for us. Amen.
DECLARATION OF PARDON [Ezekiel 36:27]
And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes and
be careful to obey my rules.

Q: What is your only comfort in life and death?
A: That I am not my own, but belong with body and soul, both in life and in
death, to my faithful Savior Jesus Christ. He has fully paid for all my sins with
His precious blood, and has set me free from all the power of the devil. He
also preserves me in such a way that without the will of my heavenly Father
not a hair can fall from my head; indeed, all things must work together for
my salvation. Therefore, by His Holy Spirit He also assures me of eternal life
and makes me heartily willing and ready from now on to live for Him.

THE LAW OF GOD – The Second Commandment
CONFESSION OF SIN [Based upon Romans 1 and Romans 5]
Our great and everlasting God, Whose eternal power and divine nature have
been seen through the things You have made; we acknowledge that we are
without excuse. For although we have known You, we have not honored
you as God nor given you thanks, but we have become futile in our thinking;
and our senseless minds have been darkened. Claiming to be wise, we have
become fools. We have been filled with every kind of wickedness, evil,
covetousness, and malice. Full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, and
craftiness, we are gossips, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, haughty,
boastful, inventors of evil, rebellious toward parents, foolish, faithless,
heartless, ruthless. Yet we do also heartily acknowledge, that when we
were weak, at the right time, Christ died for the ungodly. We most joyfully
confess that You have proven your love for us in that while we were yet
sinners, Christ died for us. Forgive our sins, we pray, through Him who was
handed over to death for our trespasses and was raised for our justification.
Amen.

CONFESSION OF SIN [Adapted from CRC Book of Praise]
O eternal God and merciful Father, we humble ourselves before your great
majesty, against which we have frequently and grievously sinned. We
acknowledge that we deserve nothing less than eternal death, that we are
unclean before you and children of wrath. We continually transgress your
commandments, failing to do what you have commanded, and doing that
which you have expressly forbidden. We acknowledge our waywardness,
and are heartily sorry for all our sins. We are not worthy to be called your
children, nor to lift up our eyes heavenward to you in prayer. Nevertheless,
O Lord God and gracious Father, we know that your mercy toward those
who turn to you is infinite; and so we take courage to call upon you, trusting
in our Mediator Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the
world. Forgive all our sins for Christ’s sake. Cover us with his innocence and
righteousness, for the glory of your name. Deliver our understanding from
all blindness, and our hearts from all willfulness and rebellion, we pray
through Jesus Christ, our Redeemer. Amen.

commandments, failing to do what you have commanded, and doing that
which you have expressly forbidden. We acknowledge our waywardness,
and are heartily sorry for all our sins. We are not worthy to be called your
children, nor to lift up our eyes heavenward to you in prayer. Nevertheless,
O Lord God and gracious Father, we know that your mercy toward those
who turn to you is infinite; and so we take courage to call upon you, trusting
in our Mediator Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the
world. Forgive all our sins for Christ’s sake. Cover us with his innocence and
righteousness, for the glory of your name. Deliver our understanding from
all blindness, and our hearts from all willfulness and rebellion, we pray
through Jesus Christ, our Redeemer. Amen.

Q: What is your only comfort in life and death?
A: That I am not my own, but belong with body and soul, both in life and in
death, to my faithful Savior Jesus Christ. He has fully paid for all my sins with
His precious blood, and has set me free from all the power of the devil. He
also preserves me in such a way that without the will of my heavenly Father
not a hair can fall from my head; indeed, all things must work together for
my salvation. Therefore, by His Holy Spirit He also assures me of eternal life
and makes me heartily willing and ready from now on to live for Him.

CONFESSION OF SIN [Adapted from Calvin’s Form of Church Prayers]
Eternal and Almighty Father, we acknowledge and confess before your holy
majesty, that we are poor sinners; conceived and born in guilt and in
corruption, prone to evil, unable of ourselves to do any good; who, because
of our depravity, transgress without end your holy commandments.
Therefore we have drawn upon ourselves, by your just sentence,
condemnation and death. But, O Lord, with heartfelt sorrow we repent and
deplore our offenses! We condemn ourselves and our evil ways, with true
penitence beseeching that your grace may relieve our distress. Be pleased
then to have compassion upon us, O most gracious God, Father of all
mercies, for the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, our Lord. And, in removing
our guilt and our pollution, grant us the daily increase of the grace of your
Holy Spirit; that, acknowledging from our inmost hearts our own
unrighteousness, we may be touched with sorrow that shall work true
repentance; and that your Spirit, mortifying all sin within us, may produce
the fruits of holiness and righteousness well-pleasing in your sight; through
Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

We have sought to justify ourselves in the sight of men, but have not sought
Your face. We have not had a right and appropriate fear of You. And our

Please be our helper as we come to You this morning. We come as a

Your unfailing love for Your children, In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the

you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For all who are led by
the Spirit of God are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of
slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as
sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!”

Q: What is your only comfort in life and death?
A: That I am not my own, but belong with body and soul, both in life and in
death, to my faithful Savior Jesus Christ. He has fully paid for all my sins with
His precious blood, and has set me free from all the power of the devil. He
also preserves me in such a way that without the will of my heavenly Father
not a hair can fall from my head; indeed, all things must work together for
my salvation. Therefore, by His Holy Spirit He also assures me of eternal life
and makes me heartily willing and ready from now on to live for Him.
