Confession We Read at RBC Today

Leader: What do you believe about the work of God?

Congregation: We believe that God-

who is perfectly merciful

and also very just-

Sent His Son to assume the nature

In which the disobedience had been committed,

In order to bear in it the punishment of sin

By His most bitter passion and death.

And what do you believe about the work of Jesus Christ?

We believe that Jesus Christ presented Himself

In our name before His Father,

To appease His wrath

With full satisfaction

By offering Himself

On the tree of the cross

And pouring out His precious blood

For the cleansing of our sins,

As the prophets had predicted.

Why did He endure all this?

He endured all this for the forgiveness of our sins

What comfort does this give you?

We find all comforts in His wounds

And have no need to seek or invent any other means

To reconcile ourselves with God

Than this one and only sacrifice,

Once made,

Which renders believers perfect forever.
