Self-Surrender.

Posted on August 27, 2022August 15, 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
  • #19 Art. IV “Justification” of the Apology of the Augsburg Confession.
    And since this faith exists, whenever there is true repentance, and raises up our hearts when sunk in the terrors of sin and death, we are regenerated by it, and through it we receive the Holy Ghost into our hearts, who renews them, and thus enable us to keep the law of God, to fear and love him truly, and firmly to trust that Christ was given for us, that he hears our cries and prayers, and that we can commend ourselves joyfully to God’s will, even in the midst of death. That faith is therefore true and genuine, which receives and obtains remission of sins without price, through grace, and does not oppose to the wrath of God its own merits and works, which would be a mere feather against a tempest, but presents Christ the Mediator; and this faith is the true knowledge of Christ. He who thus believes, rightly apprehends the great, beneficent work of Christ, and becomes a new creature; and prior to the existence of such faith in the heart, no one can fulfill the law. Of this faith in Christ and this knowledge of him, there is not a syllable, nor a tittle, in all the books of our adversaries. We therefore censure our adversaries, for teaching only the law, concerning our works, and not the Gospel, which tells us that we are justified if we believe in Christ. (Henkel Translation, p. 165-166).
