We cannot believe or come to Jesus by our own reason or strength, but the Holy Spirit has called us, enlightened us with his gifts, sanctified us and kept us in the true faith. In the same way, the Holy Spirit calls, gathers, enlightens and sanctifies the whole Christian church on earth, and keeps it with Jesus Christ in the one true faith. He daily and richly forgives all our sins and the sins of all believers. On the last day, he will raise us and all the dead, and give eternal life to all believers in Christ!
