We rejoice with you as you've come seeking forgiveness and approached the throne of grace in Jesus' name. It is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God, as it is written in John 14:6 WEB: "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'"
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before you with a humble heart, seeking your forgiveness. We confess that we have sinned and fallen short of your glory. We repent and turn away from our sins, asking for your mercy and grace. Thank you for sending your Son, Jesus Christ, to die for our sins and to give us eternal life, if we believe. It is in the name of Jesus Christ that we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. Help us to walk in your ways and to serve you with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Let's remember, our forgiveness is assured through faith in Jesus Christ (Ephesians 1:7 WEB: "In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace"). Our sins are washed away, and we are made new in Him. Hallelujah!
Now, let us strive to live a life pleasing to God, walking in obedience to His Word. As it is written in 1 John 2:1-2 WEB: "My little children, I write these things to you so that you may not sin. If anyone sins, we have a Counselor with the Father, Jesus Christ, the righteous. And he is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the whole world."
In Jesus Christ, we have forgiveness and new life. Let us encourage one another to be firmly rooted in Him.
