Small Catechism

The list of things our kids need to know when they leave the house is much simpler than we might believe.

God’s gifts, in turn, conform our minds to the mind of Christ, and catechize our imagination in the image of God’s Son.

What Luther is doing in his Catechism is teaching how the gospel is an action of the whole Trinity, not just one of the persons.

The Holy Spirit does what his name implies. He makes us holy. We believe in Jesus Christ, our Lord, and come to him only by the Holy Spirit who calls us with the gospel.
