*Public Confession of Sin
Our Father, you are merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in love and faithfulness. Iniquity you forgive, and sin you pardon, but the guilty by no means you clear. As the immutable God you never yield in justice, never bend in righteousness, and never compromise your holiness. This you proved at the cross where Jesus died as an atonement for sin. He was the propitiation so that you might be just and the justifier of all who trust in him. We confess our guilt in failing to fully appreciate the magnitude of his work. Our knowledge of your character is too sparse, our sense of sin’s evil too faint, and our grasp of Christ’s glory too shallow. We have forgiveness by his blood, yet we wallow in self-pity and false guilt. We are accepted by his life, but we often live like strangers instead of children. So even though you justified us in the Beloved, we live with evil suspicion waiting for a shoe from heaven to drop. Please forgive us for Jesus’ sake. Amen.

Minister: What is repentance unto life?
Unison: Repentance unto life is a saving grace, whereby a sinner, out of a true sense of his sin, and apprehension of the mercy of God in Christ, does, with grief and hatred of his sin, turn from it unto God, with full purpose of, and endeavor after, new obedience.
