CONFESSION

What is your only comfort in life and in death?

That I am not my own, 
but belong— 
body and soul, 
in life and in death— 
to my faithful Savior Jesus Christ.

He has fully paid for all my sins with
his precious blood, 
and has set me free from the tyranny
of the devil. 
He also watches over me in such a way
that not a hair can fall from my head without the will of my Father in
heaven: 
in fact, all things must work together
for my salvation.

Because I belong to him, 
Christ, by his Holy Spirit,
assures me of eternal life
and makes me wholeheartedly willing
and ready 
from now on to live for him.
