We pray that when at last our final hour has come, He will grant
us a blessed death, and, in His grace, bring us to Himself from this
valley of tears. Amen
What does this mean?
That I should be certain that such prayers are acceptable to the Father
in Heaven and will be granted, that He Himself has commanded us to pray
in this way and that He promises to answer us. Amen. Amen. This means:
Yes, yes it will happen this way.
IV. The Sacrament of Holy Baptism
The Simple Way a Father Should Present it to His Household
What is Baptism?
Baptism is not just plain water, but it is water contained within God's
command and united with God's Word.
Where in the Word of God is this?
Where our Lord Christ spoke in the last chapter of Matthew (Matthew
28:19):
"Go into all the world, teaching all heathen nations, and baptizing
them in the name of the Father, the Son and of the Holy Spirit."
What does Baptism give? What good is it?
It gives us the forgiveness of sins, redeems us from death and the
Devil, and gives eternal salvation to all who believe this, just as
God's words and promises declare.
