That question was asked of the 4th & 5th graders last week. They responded with, "We believe like Luther did." True, but my heart tells me it's deeper than that.
- To me, being Lutheran means:
- I know that I am saved by grace. (For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God. Eph. 2:8,9);
- Jesus lived the perfect life that I could not. (We have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet was without sin. Heb. 4:15)
- Jesus lives eternally in heaven, and so shall I. (Because I live, you also will live. John 14:19);
- No matter what happens, the Lord is at my side. (The LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore. Ps. 121:8)
- Jesus has given me more promises than I can count. Some of my favorites come from Psalm 91.
