Call to Worship
Have someone read aloud:
1 John 4:9-10 (NKJV)
In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, no one has greater love for us than You. Thank You for the unconditional love that You lavish upon us, Your children. We are most blessed among all creation. Created in the image of God, redeemed by the blood of Christ, made a kingdom of royal priesthood, and recipient of the promise of eternal life with You. We shout for joy in worship and thanksgiving. Be exalted in our praises today. Amen.

Scripture Reading
Read aloud (together if applicable).
R-22 GOD’S FORGIVENESS 上帝的赦免
Psalm 86:5; Micah 7:18; Psalm 103:10-11; 1 John 1:9; Isaiah 1:18b; Psalm 32:1-2 (NKJV)
For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive,
And abundant in mercy to all those who call upon You.
Who is a God like You,
Pardoning iniquity
And passing over the transgression of the remnant of His heritage?
He does not retain His anger forever,
Because He delights in mercy.
He has not dealt with us according to our sins,
Nor punished us according to our iniquities.
For as the heavens are high above the earth,
So great is His mercy toward those who fear Him;
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
"Though your sins are like scarlet,
They shall be as white as snow;
Though they are red like crimson,
They shall be as wool.
Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven,
Whose sin is covered.
Blessed is the man to whom the LORD does not impute iniquity,
And in whose spirit there is no deceit.

Worship Through Prayer
Thank You for freely giving to me all good things in Christ. Give me a heart that is fully satisfied in Your love. Let me be thankful for everything that You give to me even those that come through trials and sufferings. I know You will give to me only good and perfect gifts because You are good. I trust You even when I have a hard time seeing the good in what You give to me.
You, O Lord, are holy and just. Yet, merciful and kind to all who fear and love You. I was condemned for eternal destruction. Yet, You saved me and made me eternally safe in Christ. No more condemnation but everlasting love. Thank You for the continuous mercy and forgiveness I have through Christ. The righteousness of the Lord Jesus is my perfect righteousness both now and forevermore. Thank You.
Blessed, that is me. I am forever blessed because of the everlasting love that You give to me. I am the apple of your eyes. You look upon me with unceasing love and kindness. By Your power, You keep me secure in Your perfect love. Nothing in heaven nor on earth can ever separate me from Your love. May I be forever grateful and be filled with devoted love for You. Enable me by Your Holy Spirit to love You well.
