Q

A

As Christ says in the last chapter of Matthew,

Q

How can water do such great things?

A

Its not simply water, but the word of God in and with the water does these things, along with the faith which trusts this word of God in the water. Without the word of God it is plain water. But with the word of God, it is a baptism, a life-giving water, rich in Grace and a washing of the new birth in the Holy Spirit.

Q

What does baptizing in water indicate? Scripture reference?

Q

Who is worthy to partake of the sacrament of the altar?

A

One who has faith in the words Christ spoke regarding what he said about it. Faith in that, would imply the person being a Christian, and without the belief or faith, one can not partake.

17 Have confidence in your leaders and submit to their authority, because they keep watch over you as those who must give an account. Do this so that their work will be a joy, not a burden, for that would be of no benefit to you.

Q

How are husbands to treat their wives?

A

1 peter 3:7
Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers.

30
Q

How are wives to treat their husbands?

A

Ephesians 5:22-24
22 Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. 24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.

31
Q

How should parents treat their children?

A

Ephesians 6:4
Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.

32
Q

How should children treat their parents?

A

Ephesians 6:1-3
Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 2 “Honor your father and mother”—which is the first commandment with a promise— 3 “so that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth.”

33
Q

How are you to work a job?

A

Ephesians 6:5-8
5 Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ. 6 Obey them not only to win their favor when their eye is on you, but as slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from your heart. 7 Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not people, 8 because you know that the Lord will reward each one for whatever good they do, whether they are slave or free.

34
Q

How are children to carry themselves?

A

5 In the same way, you who are younger, submit yourselves to your elders. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because,

“God opposes the proud
but shows favor to the humble.”[a]

6 Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.

35
Q

What motivated Christ to die and make full payment for your sins?

A

His great love for his Father, and for me and other sinners as it is written in Romans 5

36
Q

What is the Christian faith?

A

The Christian faith is the confession that Jesus Christ is the world’s only Savior and Redeemer. 1 John 5:11-12
11 And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12 Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.

37
Q

Who is Jesus Christ?

A

Jesus is true God and true man in one person. He is the eternal Son of the Father, conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary to be our Savior and Lord. This God who became flesh in the person of the Son, Jesus Christ, is the only true God, the Holy Trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

38
Q

What has our God done?

A

God made all things and loves His creation, especially His human creatures. Beginning with our first parents, all humanity has rebelled against Him and fallen into darkness, sin, and death. God the Father sent His only Son into the world to become man and to redeem and save humanity by His death and resurrection. God sent His Spirit so that people might once again be His own through faith in His Son, Jesus, who is the world’s only hope, life, and salvation.
Galatians 4:4-5
4 But when the set time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, 5 to redeem those under the law, that we might receive adoption to sonship.

39
Q

What is a Christian?

A

A Christian is someone who, by the power and work of the Holy Spirit through the Word of God, believes in and confesses Jesus as Savior and Lord. Through Baptism, a Christian is adopted into the Father’s family, the Church.
Romans 10:10
10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.

40
Q

What does it mean to confess Jesus Christ as my Lord?

A

To confess Jesus as my Lord means that I trust Him in life and in death as my Savior and my God. His death and resurrection have atoned for all my sins and assured me of my resurrection to eternal life. I am His own and want to live for Him.
Colossians 2:6-7
6 So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, 7 rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.

41
Q

What is the Bible?

A

The Bible gathers together the writings of God’s chosen prophets and apostles over a period of more than a thousand years. Through the Holy Spirit, God Himself gave these writers the thoughts and words they recorded (verbal inspiration), such that the Bible is God’s Word. For this reason, the Scriptures are both infallible (incapable of error) and inerrant (containing no mistakes). Holy Scripture is therefore entirely reliable and gives us everything we need to know and believe for Christian faith and life.
Hebrews 1:1-2
1 In the past God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets at many times and in various ways, 2 but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom also he made the universe.

42
Q

Why can we be confident that the Bible is the authoritative and inerrant Word of God?

A

In the Gospel, the central message of the Bible, God promises us new life on the basis of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. God’s promises alone create faith in Jesus Christ. Jesus Himself, whom we trust, declares that all the Scriptures are God’s own words, completely dependable in all they teach, and without error. We believe the Word of God has the power in itself to convince the reader or hearer of its authority. Because it is God’s Word, it is self-authenticating. The Word of God does what it says.

43
Q

Two great doctrines of the Bible?

A

Law and Gospel

44
Q

Difference between law and gospel?

A

The Law teaches what we are to do and not to do; the Gospel teaches what God has done, and still does, in Jesus, for our salvation.
The Law shows us our sin and the wrath of God; the Gospel shows us our Savior and brings God’s grace and favor.
The Law must be proclaimed to all people, but especially to sinners who refuse to repent; the Gospel must be proclaimed to sinners who are troubled by their sins.
Romans 3:20 For by works of the law no human being will be justified in His sight, since through the law comes knowledge of sin.

45
Q

What is the small catechism?

A

Christians have used three important texts as a basic summary for teaching the Christian faith and life: the Ten Commandments, Creed, and Lord’s Prayer. Martin Luther helpfully included biblical passages on Baptism, Confession, and the Lord’s Supper.

46
Q

What are the central, or chief, parts of Christian teaching and life?

A
  1. God makes known His will through the Ten Commandments, which summarize how God wants us to love Him and love our neighbor and also reveal our sin and inability to keep God’s Law.
  2. The Creed summarizes who God is and what He has done for the world: creating and preserving all things out of fatherly love; redeeming the world in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the Son of God; and calling and gathering believers into the Church by the Holy Spirit.
  3. In the Lord’s Prayer (or the Our Father), God the Son teaches Christians how to pray as God’s own dear children, confident that what we are praying pleases Him and is for our good.
  4. Scripture teaches us that in Holy Baptism, we are cleansed from our sins and belong to the one true God, Father, Son, and Spirit, whom we trust for life and salvation.
  5. As God’s believing, baptized children, we still battle against sins of thought, word, and deed. But God graciously has given special authority to His Church on earth to forgive the sins of the penitent and to withhold forgiveness from the unrepentant (Office of the Keys and Confession).
  6. God welcomes His children to the Sacrament of the Altar (Lord’s Supper), where Christ gives us His body to eat and His blood to drink with the bread and wine for the forgiveness of our sins and to strengthen our faith.
47
