We are by nature all separated from God by sin and unable to
understand His desire for our lives by ourselves.
In love for us He sent His Son, Jesus to free us from sin and
restore us to Himself through Christ's death and resurrection.
The Holy Spirit enlightens us through God's Word and the Sacraments
to trust this good news.
We are chosen by God to live as His holy people for the purpose of
worshipping Him and telling others of Jesus Christ.
Jesus said: "All authority in heaven and on earth has been
given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing
them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit and
teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely, I am
with you always, to the very end of the age." Matthew
28:20
