Assurance of Pardon

8 The Lord is compassionate and merciful, 

slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love. 

9 He will not constantly accuse us, 

nor remain angry forever. 

10 He does not punish us for all our sins; 

he does not deal harshly with us, as we deserve. 

11 For his unfailing love toward those who fear him 

is as great as the height of the heavens above the earth. 

12 He has removed our sins as far from us 

as the east is from the west.

Leader: Friends, believe the good news of the gospel.

People: In Jesus Christ we are forgiven!
