Corporate Confession of Sin

O Lord our God,

Your judgments are just. Your wrath is severe. The pouring out of your anger is soon. But even greater toward us who repent is your infinite mercy. We confess that we deserve the fulness of your wrath for the sins we have done, and the obedience we have left undone. We tremble in our hearts, knowing what you are sparing us from because of your mercy in Christ. We praise you that our Lord Jesus drank the full cup of your wrath in our place, so that we may live forever with you by grace.

We repent of our remaining corruptions: our pride, our greed, our lack of love, our weakness of faith, and our self-reliance. Continue to purge us from these things. Help us to seek the things above where Christ is seated. And give us fresh power over all sin and evil. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
