The Third Article: Sanctification

“I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Christian church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.”

What does this mean?

Answer: I believe that by my own reason or strength I cannot believe in Jesus Christ, my Lord, or come to him. But the Holy Spirit has called me through the Gospel, enlightened me with his gifts, and sanctified and preserved me in true faith, just as he calls, gathers, enlightens, and sanctifies the whole Christian church on earth and preserves it in union with Jesus Christ in the one true faith. In this Christian church he daily and abundantly forgives all my sins, and the sins of all believers, and on the last day he will raise me and all the dead and will grant eternal life to me and to all who believe in Christ. This is most certainly true.^[1]

Pastor Morehouse presented our Warning Order and Bible Study.  Included in his presentation was a heartfelt description of the treatment of our military who have given the ultimate sacrifice of their lives on behalf of our country and its freedoms, both on the battlefield and as their bodies are transported home to loved ones.  The Chaplains escort of remains and readings from the Psalms, as well as the honor provided to them as they return home witnesses the love of our Savior Jesus Christ and the eternal hope we have because of His resurrection and power over death.

The Second Petition

“Thy kingdom come.”

What does this mean?

Answer: To be sure, the kingdom of God comes of itself, without our prayer, but we pray in this petition that it may also come to us.

How is this done?
