Corporate Confession of Sin          

The Valley of Vision

O God, I am full of infirmities, wants, sin; you are full of grace. I confess my sin, my frequent sin, my willful sin; All my powers of body and soul are defiled: A fountain of pollution is deep within my nature. I have gone from one odious room to another, walked in a no-man’s land of dangerous imaginations, pried into the secrets of my fallen nature. Help me in all my doings to put down sin…. Save me from the love of the world and the pride of life, from everything that is natural to fallen man, and let Christ’s nature be seen in me day by day. In the name of Jesus I pray. Amen.

Westminster Confession of Faith

Of Saving Faith 14.1

The grace of faith, whereby the elect are enabled to believe to the saving of their souls, is the work of the Spirit of Christ in their hearts, and is ordinarily wrought by the ministry of the Word, by which also, and by the administration of the sacraments, and prayer, it is increased and strengthened.
