Handout 1:
Class #8: Romans 10:13-15 quotes Joel 2:32, “whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved.” With this phrase, the New Testament and the Old Testament agree that “calling on the name of the LORD” encompasses (1) the entire revelation of Jesus Christ (2) through the pastoral ministry(the preaching of the Word, the […]
Class #7: Exodus 3 is the greatest revelation of God’s proper name, “Yahweh,” in the Old Testament. Verses 13-14 read, “Then Moses said to God, “Indeed, when I come to the children of Israel and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they say to me, ‘What is […]
Class #6: Genesis 4:26, says, “And as for Seth, to him also a son was born; and he named him Enosh. Then men began to call on the name of the LORD.” The “name of the LORD” is not one particular name, nor does it simply denote prayer, as if there had been no prayer […]
Class #5: God is incomprehensible and his substance is indivisible. Luther says, “We are at our wits’ end when we try to define God.”1 God’s essence and attributes are not separate. God is not loving, as if it were a changeable attribute. The Scriptures tell us that “God is love” (1 john 4:8). He can’t […]
Class #4: The Holy Scriptures are the inspired and inerrant Word of God. Written in human language, we use our human reason as a servant to determine what the Scriptural Text says. In our attempt to define God, we find that the rules of human logic, which works well for defining created things, does not help […]
Class #3: With natural knowledge, we know that God exists, but we don’t know who that true God is. We know that God punishes wrong and demands righteousness, but we don’t know of His will toward us. Natural knowledge shows us our great lack and leaves us with unending doubt. The revealed knowledge of God’s […]
Class #2: Armed with only the truths taught by natural knowledge, man will know neither the essence nor the will of God. Natural knowledge does not create faith in the person and work of the Son, and thus it is impossible to know the Father(Mt 11:27). Ignorant of the promises of salvation in Jesus Christ, […]
Class #1: God wills to be known and to be worshiped(faith, prayer, proclamation). By the work of creation God teaches that He exists. By the conscience grafted into the hearts of all men, He teaches the difference between those things which are honorable and shameful. Due to our sinful nature, this natural knowledge of God […]
Class #61, Part C: In this study, we bring to a close our study of the book of Galatians. We saw how the Book of Concord uses Galatians 5:1-4, 5:17-24, and 6:6-7 as proof texts for various doctrines.
