Word and Sacraments, Week by Week
Faith is the knowledge of what God has done for us in Christ, the confidence that this is a true, historical fact, and the assurance that, by this saving work of Christ in history, we are accepted before God apart from anything that we have done. This is why God gives us the sacraments of baptism and the Lord's Supper to confirm our faith in his gospel and to seal us in its promises.
