“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts! The whole earth is full of his glory.”

Whit Tuesday: Remembering the gift of the Law
We, as Lutherans, believe that we receive through Baptism; forgiveness of sins, deliverance from death and the devil, and the promise of eternal salvation. We also know that none of these come about from our own doing—they are gifts. We receive the Holy Spirit through the water and the Word so that we might have faith to believe in the promises of God.
