Offering

DoxologyTo Jesus Christ be glory given

By all on Earth and all in Heaven.

Let His dominion wide extend.His glorious Kingdom have no end.

Affirmation of Faith

We worship the One God, the Lord the Savior JesusChrist, redeemer of the world,; in whom is the Father, the Son

and the Holy Spirit; whose humanity is divine. He came into the

world and took our nature upon him. He endured temptation,even to the Passion of the Cross. He overcame the hells, and so

delivered all. Without this, no mortal could have been saved;and they are saved who believe in Him, and keep the command-

ments of His Word. This is His commandment; that we love oneanother, as he has loved us.

That the Lord subjugated the hells, He Himself teaches in John:

when the passion of the cross was at hand, then Jesus said:

Now is the judgment of this world; now the prince of this world shall

be cast out (12:27, 28, 31).

In the same:

Have confidence, I have overcome the world (16:33). And in Isaiah:

Who is this that cometh from Edom, going on in the multitude ofHis strength, great to save? My own arm brought salvation to Me; so

He became to them for a Saviour (63:1-19; 59:16-21). That He glori-

fied His Human, and that the passion of the cross was the last temp-

tation and full victory, by which He glorified it, He teaches also in

John:

After Judas went out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of man glorified,

and God will glorify Him in Himself, and will immediately glorify

Him (13:31, 32).

In the same:

Father, the hour has come; glorify Thy Son, that Thy Son also mayglorify Thee (17:1, 5).

In the same:

Now is my soul troubled; Father, glorify Thy name; and a voice came

out from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it

again (12:27, 28).

And in Luke:

Ought not Christ to suffer this, and to enter into His glory? (24:26.)

These words were said in relation to His passion: "to glorify" is to

make Divine. Hence, now, it is manifest, that, unless the Lord had

come into the world, and been made Man, and in this manner had

liberated from hell all those who believe in Him and love Him, no

mortal could be saved; this is understood by the saying, that without

the Lord there is no salvation.
