O GOD the FATHER in heaven, have mercy upon me, be gracious unto me Thy child, who in childlike fear, am about to approach Thy holy altar. Let me partake of Thy heavenly feast, as Thou hast prepared it for me, to the salvation of my soul. Amen. (Oremus, 1925, p.146).

2023 Doctrine & Practice
  • #18 Art. IV “Justification” of the Apology of the Augsburg Confession.
    But if we are made just before God, solely through the grace and mercy promised in Christ, it follows, that we do not become just through our works. For what necessity would there be then for the glorious, divine promises, and how could Paul so highly praise grace and exalt it? The Gospel therefore recommends, preaches, and applauds the righteousness which proceeds from faith in Christ and is not of the law. The law does not teach it; it is far superior to the righteousness of the law. For the law requires our works, and demands that we should be upright internally, at heart, and perfectly righteous. But the divine promises offer to us, who are overcome by sin and death, help, grace, and reconciliation for Christ’s sake, which no man can obtain through works, but alone through faith in Christ. This faith offers or presents to the Lord God no works, no merit of its own, but builds upon pure grace only, and knows of no other consolation or trust, than the mercy promised in Christ. Now this faith alone, when each one believes individually that Christ is given for him, obtains remission of sins for Christ’s sake, and justifies us in the sight of God. (Henkel Translation, p. 165).
