[Illustration: I BELIEVE THE SEVEN STATIONS OF SALVATION Station No. 2 Father, I have sinned against heaven and before thee (Luke 15:18). God, be merciful unto me a sinner (Luke 18: 13). PRAYER My Father in Heaven, my sinful heart now condemns me and I know I am guilty of the sin of not believing on thy Son, my Saviour. O Lord, be merciful to me a sinner, and hear my solemn prayer. Lamb of God that taketh away the sin of the world, have mercy upon me. For Jesus' sake. Amen. CONVICTION] Conviction must follow condemnation, or it will avail nothing. To know I am condemned is of itself of little value. It must lead to conviction. Station No. 3. Repentance [Illustration: I BELIEVE THE SEVEN STATIONS OF SALVATION Station No. 3 Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand (Matt. 3:2). Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance (Matt. 3:8). PRAYER Hear thou my prayer, O Lord, for I have a godly sorrow for my sin and do now turn away from my transgressions and turn to thee. Hear my solemn prayer, Lamb of God that taketh away the sin of the world, have mercy upon me. In his name. Amen. REPENTANCE] After conviction repentance must follow--repentance deep enough so that we feel our sins have hurt the heart of God. Station No. 4. Redemption [Illustration: I BELIEVE THE SEVEN STATIONS OF SALVATION Station No. 4 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins according to the riches of his grace (Eph. 1:7) Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us (Gal. 3:13). PRAYER Blessed Lord, who didst hang on the tree of the cross for me, and thus redeem my precious soul, I do now accept thee as my Saviour and Redeemer. Hear, O Lord, my solemn prayer. Amen. REDEMPTION] Repentance when it is of the heart is sure to lead to redemption, because no truly repentant heart ever sought the Lord in vain. Station No. 5. Confession [Illustration: I BELIEVE THE SEVEN STATIONS OF SALVATION Station No. 5 Return unto thy house, and show how great things God hath done unto thee (Luke 8:39). I will declare what he hath done for my soul (Ps. 66:16). PRAYER Blessed Lord, having been redeemed by thy precious blood, I now declare to the world what thou hast done for my soul, I will proclaim it by my baptism and union with thy blessed church. Make and keep me ever thine. Amen. CONFESSION] A sure sign we have been redeemed is that we will "tell somebody"; not because we must, but because we cannot help it. We must tell the world of it.
