With the universal Christian Church,
The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod teaches and responds to
the love of the Triune God: the Father, creator of all that
exists; Jesus Christ, the Son, who became human to suffer and
die for the sins of all human beings and to rise to life again
in the ultimate victory over death and Satan; and the Holy
Spirit, who creates faith through God's Word and Sacraments. The
three persons of the Trinity are coequal and coeternal, one God.
Being "Lutheran,"
our congregations accept and teach Bible-based teachings of
Martin Luther that inspired the reformation of the Christian
Church in the 16th century. The teaching of Luther and the
reformers can be summarized in three short phrases:
Grace alone, Faith alone, Scripture alone. |
