CONFESSION OF SIN
[Based upon The Book of Common Worship, 1st
order]
Most holy and
merciful Father, we acknowledge and confess before You our sinful
nature, prone to evil and slow in good, and all our shortcomings and
offenses. You alone know how often we have sinned-- in wandering
from Your ways, in wasting Your gifts, in forgetting Your love. O
Lord, have mercy on us. We are ashamed and sorry for everything in
which we have displeased you. Teach us to hate our errors. Cleanse
us from our secret faults, and forgive our sins for the sake of your
dear Son. And O most holy and loving Father, help us, we ask You, to
live in Your light and walk in Your ways, according to the
commandments of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Heidelberg Catechism Question 1
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.
