Self-Surrender.

Posted on June 18, 2022May 16, 2022 by luther

LORD, take my lips, and speak through them; take my mind, and think through it; take my heart, and set it on fire; through Jesus Christ, Thy Son, our Lord, who livest and reignest with the Father and the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end. Amen  (Oremus, 1925, p.41).

2023 Doctrine & Practice
  • #35 Art. IV “Justification” of the Apology of the Augsburg Confession.
    Secondly, it is certain that sins are remitted, for the sake of the Propitiator Christ, Rom. 3:25, “Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation” or Conciliator; and it is expressly added—“through faith.” Accordingly we can avail ourselves of the Conciliator’s worth, by embracing the promises of mercy through faith, and setting it up against the wrath and judgment of God. And the same is written in Heb. 4:14-15, We have a High Priest Christ, &c. Let us go to him with joyfulness. The Apostle tells us to approach God, not relying on our own works, but trusting in the High Priest Christ. He therefore clearly requires faith. (Henkel Translation, p. 172-3, † literally “habit of love” toward God). Thirdly, Peter says, Acts 10:43, “To him give all the Prophets witness, that through his name, whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.” How could Peter have expressed himself more clearly? He says, we receive remission of sin through his name; that is, we receive it through him not through our merit, not through our repentance (or attrition,) not through our love, not by our own service of God, not by our human ordinances or works; and he adds—if we believe in him. He therefore requires faith to exist in the heart. For that reason he says: “To him give all the Prophets witness.” This, it seems to me, is truly appealing to the Christian of universal church; for if all the holy Prophets bear witness, their decision and testimony are truly glorious, grand, excellent, and forcible; but of this passage we shall speak more hereafter. (Henkel Translation, p. 172-173).
