I Will Confess

Confession of Sin, and Assurance of Pardon

Confess your sins to God —

I pray you heartily to look upon me with the eyes of your mercy, as you did look upon the evildoer, who was hanged upon the cross beside you, and did open his heart that he confessed his sins; and he was mightily afraid of them, but yet despaired not, but confessed and desired your grace and mercy which you gave to him willingly and plentifully....

Therefore, dear God and merciful Father, will I strengthen myself so much and more, and doubt nothing thereof. Amen.

Martin Luther

And Receive Assurance of Pardon, these words of comfort, from God —

Then I acknowledged my sin to you
and did not conceal my iniquity.
I said, “I will confess my transgressions to Yahweh,”
and you forgave the guilt of my sin.

Selah

(Psalm 32:5, Christian Standard Bible)
