The Ten Commandments help paint a picture of God’s design for an ideal world. Each of the Commandments acts as a “fence” protecting an institution of God’s good creation.
Faith is believing the Gospel is promised to you. Salvation is not reliant on your thoughts, feelings, words, or deeds. Salvation is sure because it God always keeps His promises, Jesus’ deeds are fully sufficient for salvation, the Means of Grace don’t just convey information about God but they actually deliver salvation, and Scripture describes how He choses His people out of pure grace to inherit eternal life.
Jesus fulfilled our obligations to keep the Law, He suffered and died to pay the penalty for sin, and He overcame death so that we might overcome death.
Lutherans call themselves confessional: the fact that God created all things and that the Lord Jesus redeems everything compels us to confess the reality of Christ in the world.
Jesus gave us the Means of Grace to give us comfort and assurance of our salvation by connecting us to His death and resurrection.
In this episode we’ll be talking about the Bible and Christianity in general and Lutheranism in particular. In the next five weeks, we’ll cover each of the six chief parts of Luther’s Small Catechism.
