Reading of the Law of God
Or do you not know
that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from
God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in
your body. 1 Corinthians 6.19-20
Confession of Sin
Our Father, we assume that our bodies are our own, to care
for or not as we please. But Your Word is clear. They are not ours but Yours. Forgive
us for not caring for what is Yours. Give us the desire and ability to do
better at this. We ask this through Jesus, our faithful Savior. Amen.
Declaration of Pardon
The saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance, that
Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the foremost. 1
Timothy 1.15
