the
faith for which the Reformers of the sixteenth century contended,
together
with all orthodox believers of our time and every time.
Was
the man Jesus God? Did he die for the forgiveness of our sins?
Was
he raised on the third day for our justification?
Did
the Father and the Son send the Spirit,
and
is that Spirit encountered in the Word, Baptism, and Communion?
Are
the words recorded in John reliable:
‘If
the Son has set you free, you will be free indeed?’
Do
we believe the gospel that set the apostle Paul free from the law
to
live in the grace and mercy of Jesus?
Do
we believe, with Jeremiah, that the new covenant is made with us by God,
when
he forgives our iniquity, and remembers our sin no more?
