Let us search - How are we to get the pardon of our sins? The prophet tells us:
- Let us examine ourselves.
"Let us turn again to the Lord." "Let us lift up our heart;" let us make fervent prayer and supplication for mercy. "Let us lift up our hand;" let us solemnly promise to be his, and bind ourselves in a covenant to be the Lord's only: so much lifting up the hand to God implies. Or, let us put our heart on our hand, and offer it to God; so some have translated this clause. "We have transgressed;" let our confession of sin be fervent and sincere. And to us who profess Christianity it may be added, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ as having died for thee; and thou shalt not perish, but have everlasting life. Lamentations 3:46 ,
