Reading of the Law of God
Besides this you know the time, that the hour has come for
you to wake from sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now than when we first
believed. The night is far gone; the day is at hand. So then let us cast off
the works of darkness and put on the armor of light. Let us walk properly as in
the daytime, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and
sensuality, not in quarreling and jealousy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and
make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires. Romans 13.11-14
Confession of Sin
Our Father, we need to cast off the works of darkness. We
need to put on the armor of light. We find ourselves involved in quarreling and
jealousy and pursuing the pleasures of this life. Forgive us our sin. Change
our hearts. We are bold to ask this only because of Jesus, our faithful Savior.
Amen.
Declaration of Pardon
My little children, I am writing these things to you so that
you may not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus
Christ the righteous. He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours
only but also for the sins of the whole world. 1 John 2.1-2
