Apology of the Augsburg Confession: Article 15. Human Traditions, Part 1 57:35

1h ago57:35

57:35

Tradition is helpful to the church in promoting good order and peace. Yet tradition is not to hinder the free and gracious salvation we receive for Christ’s sake through faith. The Roman Church and the Reformers agreed on the benefits of tradition but were diametrically opposed in their understanding of its role in salvation. The issue is found in …

Apology of the Augsburg Confession: Article 14. Order in the Church 57:05

2h ago57:05

57:05

God is the giver of order, and because of this, we are to live in an orderly way. In His wisdom, He established the office of the Ministry to steward His mysteries (1 Corinthians 4:1). This Ministry is centered and grounded in Christ and the Word and Sacrament. To add more to the requirements for “good order” such as relics, canonical ordination, s…

Apology of the Augsburg Confession: Article 13. Number of Sacraments 57:12

17d ago57:12

57:12

How many Sacraments do we have? It depends on who you ask! The Reformers were focused on the reception of God’s gracious gift of forgiveness of sins through faith in Christ. The Roman Catholic Church focused on the authority of the Pope and traditions, but as we know, traditions and the Pope can err. Yet, Jesus and His Word do not err and give what…

Apology of the Augsburg Confession: Article 12B. Confession & Satisfaction Part 4 56:24

24d ago56:24

56:24

True repentance bears good fruit: prayer, thanksgiving, confessing Christ, teaching the faith, honoring authorities, and being faithful to one’s calling. This good fruit is not intended to diminish years of punishment in purgatory, rather, it is produced with thanksgiving to the Lord and for the good of one’s neighbor. Believers can take comfort in…

Apology of the Augsburg Confession: Article 12B. Confession & Satisfaction Part 3 58:13

17d ago58:13

58:13

The Reformers understood that punishment is a necessary aspect of repentance. Punishment, they believed, is one when feels contrition over sin. The Roman Church at the time was determined to prescribe certain punishments to pay for certain sins. These punishments, according to the Church, could be satisfied by works performed in this life and in pu…

Apology of the Augsburg Confession: Article 12B. Confession & Satisfaction Part 2 57:39

1M ago57:39

57:39

How easy it is to misuse Scripture! Jesus says, “Bear fruit in keeping with repentance” (Mark 1:15). Just as we learned that repentance is contrition combined with faith, we also understand that the LORD bears fruit through repentance. The Holy Spirit works through us to bear this fruit— it is not a requirement of our salvation. Christ has made ful…

57:38

Don’t put a question mark where God in Christ puts an exclamation point! Private confession and absolution are vital to the spiritual health of the believer, as it is in these that we can hear the voice of the Gospel— forgiving sins and comforting consciences. When one receives absolution, sins are forgiven for Christ’s sake— not due to works prece…

Apology of the Augsburg Confession: Article 12. Repentance #4 56:03

2M ago56:03

56:03

Repentance is turning from sin and being brought to faith in Christ— all by God’s grace. Repentance is the Law terrifying a sinner which, in turn, leads them to the forgiveness merited by faith in the works of Christ alone. It may be tempting to rely on our own works to find hope, yet these leave our conscience without comfort. One’s works of love …

2M ago57:03

57:03

A clear conscience is only provided through the forgiveness of sins by the blood of Christ. Outward deeds are a fruit of faith, yet repentance is never separated from faith in Christ. Forgiveness in Christ brings the final healing. The Roman Catholic Church agreed that forgiveness is part of repentance, but the conditions of forgiveness were center…

Apology of the Augsburg Confession: Article 12. Repentance #2 58:08

2M ago58:08

58:08

Repentance has two parts: contrition and faith. Melanchthon speaks of God’s “strange work” of terrifying consciences by the proclamation of the Law. This is deemed to be strange as to be brought to angst over sin does not feel like a loving action, but in God’s wisdom and grace, we are brought low and He makes us alive to make the Gospel even sweet…

Apology of the Augsburg Confession: Article 12. Repentance 57:52

2M ago57:52

57:52

God’s law brings contrition. The Gospel creates faith which trusts that God forgives our sins for the sake of Christ. Although repentance is turning from sin it is not separated from faith in Christ. The focus is not on the external act, demanding that individuals repent in a certain manner, or works that satisfy but on the proclamation of Law & Go…

Apology of the Augsburg Confession: Article 11. Confession 59:14

3M ago59:14

59:14

The Reformers retained private confession & absolution. Although they kept confession, they did not agree that a confessor needs to have a prescribed number per year or attempt to confess all sins. The focus of confession was not to make sure the form was done perfectly, but the faith of the heart that trusts the full sufficiency of the cross for t…

Apology of the Augsburg Confession: Article 10. Lord’s Supper 57:17

3M ago57:17

57:17

We let Jesus’ words be the final Word. “Take, eat; this is my body...this cup is the New Testament in My blood.” This gift is given apart from any merit of our own and our sincerity, but forgiveness, life, and salvation delivered to us and received by faith. The Roman Catholic Church had much in common with the Reformers, especially in comparison t…

Apology of the Augsburg Confession: Article 9. Baptism 57:49

3M ago57:49

57:49

Baptism is necessary for salvation. Baptism is for ALL ages. The Lord bears fruit by the proclamation of the pure Gospel through means, like water, for the soothing of their conscience with the Lord. The Anabaptists in their day, and many churches in our day, work to assure individuals that Baptism does nothing. The promises are clear in Scripture:…

Apology of the Augsburg Confession: Article 7 & 8. The Church. 56:54

3M ago56:54

56:54

The Church is one holy church, grounded on Christ and founded by the apostle’s teachings. The adversaries were more focused on the apostle’s “traditions.” The Church is not founded on right formulas for holy living or the holiness of the ministers, but on the Word and Christ. The Church needs order and formalities but not for the sake of necessity …

Apology of the Augsburg Confession: Article 7 & 8. The Church 57:39

4M ago57:39

57:39

The definition of the Church is simple: Believers in the blood of Christ for their salvation join around the Gospel and rightly-administered sacraments according to God’s Word. The Concordians directly addressed the Roman Catholic Church’s view of papal authority, which led to many different opinions based on the pope’s thoughts. The Church is not …
