The law shows us our sin and our desperate need for a savior. The law’s threats sometimes stop us from doing what we know is wrong. The law is also a guide in living a life of thankfulness. God’s law is not drudgery for a Christian; it is a blessing for us.
There is only one God, the Triune God - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit - in whom there is forgiveness, life, and salvation.
Jesus kept his promise to send the Holy Spirit, who came with power on Pentecost, and comes to all believers.
We celebrate Jesus’ ascension, when he began the penultimate phase of his plan for the world: having saved the world, Jesus now grows his Church by the means of grace until it is time for him to come again.
