Confession of Sin
[A variation of 23a to make this confession broad and applicable at all times.]
Church:
O God, we cry out to you, that you might hear us.
The reality of our sin and its consequences makes us weary and heavy-hearted;
our souls long for comfort.
Though some may blame you, doubt your goodness, love and faithfulness; even deny your very existence.
We know that all have sinned, and because all have sinned, all deserve to be condemned. Instead of blaming, doubting, or denying you, we will confess our sin and repent.
We will tell the truth about ourselves.
We have said things that should not have been said.
We have done things that should not have been done.
We have lived for ourselves instead of for your glory.
We have treasured earthly things instead of Jesus Christ.
Father, you could have poured out your wrath on us but instead,
you poured it out on your Son at the cross.
Jesus, you could have remained in glory, but instead,
you became a man to atone for our sins.
Holy Spirit, you could have left us in darkness, but instead,
you showed us our sin, and you showed us Jesus Christ our Savior.
Today, we confess our sin to you, God,
and we rejoice because Christ died for us
and was raised from the dead. Our hope is in you God!
Assurance of Pardon
Leader: Christian, “…you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot. He was foreknown before the foundation of the world but was made manifest in the last times for the sake of you who through him are believers in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God. (1 Peter 1:18-21)
All: The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. (1 Corinthians 15:56-57)
NEW CITY CATECHISM:
Q 51: Of what advantage to us is Christ’s ascension?
A 51: Christ physically ascended on our behalf, just as he came down to earth physically on our account, and he is now advocating for us in the presence of his Father, preparing a place for us, and also sends us his Spirit.
Romans 8:34
