(Mission Cast)The Spirit Is Poured Out On Us (Joel 2:28; Acts 2:33)

This LENT we are providing a daily (Monday-Saturday) journaling opportunity. JOURNALING Day 15 March 22. 1. Which is harder to accept that I choose to believe or that I am brought to saving faith apart from my own efforts? (Martin Luther’s Explanation to the Third Article of the Apostle’s Creed): "I believe that I cannot by my own reason or strength believe in Jesus Christ my Lord or come to Him; but the Holy Spirit has called me by the Gospel, enlightened me with His gifts, sanctified and kept me in the true faith.” 2. Why can I not come to faith in Jesus by my own reason or strength?   (Cf. 1 Corinthians 2:14, Ephesians 2:1, 1 Corinthians 12:3). 3. What does it mean to be enlightened with the Holy Spirit’s gifts? (Cf. 2 Corinthians 4:6, Romans 12)
