Forgiveness

Hear now the comforting assurance of the grace of God, promised in the Gospel to all who believe.  Our Lord Jesus Christ says: “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him might not perish, but have everlasting life.”

Therefore, I say to every one of you beloved brothers and sisters, who abhor yourselves and your sins, and believe that the only way you may be pardoned is through the merits of Jesus Christ, and who resolve daily to abstain from your sins and to serve the Lord in true holiness and righteousness:

I declare, according to the command of God, that from heaven you are released from all your sins (as Christ has promised in His Gospel), through the perfect satisfaction of the most holy passion and death of our Lord Jesus Christ.
