16285	Gerberding, G. H. (George Henry)	The Way of Salvation in the Lutheran Church			.txt	text/plain	50077	2731	76	In the ardor and fervor of their young hearts' devotion they can repeat these beautiful words of their catechism and say: I believe that Jesus Christ, true God, begotten of the Father from eternity, and also true man, born of the Virgin Mary, is _my_ Lord; who has redeemed _me_, a lost and condemned creature, secured and delivered _me_ from all sin, from death, and from the power of the devil ... in order that I might be His, live under Him in His kingdom and serve Him in everlasting righteousness, innocence and blessedness. It certainly seems repugnant to all that we have ever learned of our God and Saviour, that it should be His will that our dear children, who have been _conceived and born in sin_, and are therefore _by nature_, or by birth, _the children of wrath_, should remain in this state of sin and condemnation until they are old enough to be converted at a revival.	cache/16285.txt	txt/16285.txt
