Corporate Confession of Sin

Most merciful and gracious Lord,

We are unworthy of the mercy and grace that you give us in Christ.

Our iniquity would condemn us, our transgressions would condemn us, our sin would condemn us, if not for your steadfast love and mercy. We confess that though you have favor upon us, we still sin in countless ways. The fact that we sin while experiencing so much of your mercy makes our sin all the more grievous to us.

But we rejoice that you never change. You are the same – yester, today, and forever. We thank you that your steadfast love, faithfulness, and forgiveness are always given to those who forsake their sin and come to Jesus for mercy.

Help us to continue to strive against sin, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
