Words of Assurance following Confession
(Romans 1 0 :9 -1 1 )
Hear the good news!
“If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord
and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead,
you will be saved.
For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God,
and it is by confessing with your mouth that you are saved.
For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
So be at peace.
Your sins are forgiven.
Thanks be to God!
