Confessional Corner: The Gospel and Its Vehicles (SA III IV-IX)

We will now return to the Gospel, which does not give us counsel and aid against sin in only one way. God is superabundantly generous in His grace: First, through the spoken Word, by which the forgiveness of sins is preached in the whole world [Luke 24:45-47]. This is the particular office of the Gospel. Second, through Baptism. Third, through the holy Sacrament of the Altar. Fourth, through the power of the Keys. Also through the mutual conversation and consolation of the brethren, "Where two or three are gathered" (Matthew 18:20) and other such verses [especially Romans 1:12]. (SA III IV) Join me as I go through the Gospel's vehicles as Article IV forms the outline for Articles V-IX.
