John Bunyan: Piercing Heaven – Puritan’s Prayers

We have obtained grace to give ourselves to you, Lord, through your mercy, and to one another.

To have communion with one another, as saints in one gospel fellowship, we agree and promise before God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ to walk together in this one gospel communion and fellowship as a church of Jesus Christ.

In love to the Lord and to one another, we endeavor to give sincere and hearty obedience to the laws, ordinances, and appointments of our Lord and lawgiver in his church.

We also agree and promise, the Lord assisting, to follow after the things which make for peace, and things with which we may build each other up.

So living and walking in love and peace, the God of love and peace may be with us.

Amen.
