          We believe….

We believe in the Bible because it is a unique and special book. The Bible is the most widely published, the most translated, the most cited and the most influential book in human history. It is God's Word - the revelation of God to humans!

Reflection on the basis of this what is written above to "The Apostles' Creed" and the teachings of "Luther's Small Catechism."

1) I believe that God has made me and all creatures....

2) I believe that Jesus Christ, true God, begotten of the Father from eternity,......, is my Lord, who has redeemed me, a lost and condemned creature, purchased and won [delivered] me from all sins, from death, and from the power of the devil, not with gold or silver, but with His holy, precious blood and with His innocent suffering and death,............

3) I believe that I cannot by my own reason or strength believe in Jesus Christ, my Lord, or come to Him; but the Holy Ghost has called me by the Gospel, enlightened me with His gifts, sanctified and kept me in the true faith; ....... He forgives daily and richly all sins to me and all believers, and at the last day will raise up me and all the dead, and will give to me and to all believers in Christ everlasting life.
