This means that our works are not instrumental in salvation, but rather faith is a gift from the Holy Spirit. Christ's perfect obedience to God's law and his death on the cross have satisfied the penalty of God's law, making us righteous in God's sight. [... more]

Righteous prayer focuses on the praise of the Father, acknowledging his kingdom, power, and glory, and recognizing our dependence on him for all things. The Lord's Prayer concludes with a doxology, a form of words that offers praise to God for his glory, especially his work of creation and redemption. This doxology is a threefold ascription of praise to the Father, recalling and building upon the second petition where we pray for the kingdom to come. It acknowledges the Father's kingdom has come and is coming in the person and work of Jesus Christ, and that the Father rightfully and truly possesses his kingdom, and will possess his royal divine rule forever and ever.

The Lord's Prayer focuses on seven major themes, all of which center on God the Father, and the fifth petition shows us that righteous prayer focuses on the forgiveness of the Father.

The forgiveness of our sins comes with the cancellation of our infinite, unpayable debt to God, and it results in a new way of life. Jesus teaches us to imitate our Father in heaven by forgiving others, and our forgiveness is not the cause of God's forgiveness, but rather the evidence of genuine saving faith. [... more]
