Question 196. What does the conclusion of the Lord's Prayer teach us?

A. The conclusion of the Lord's Prayer is, For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. It teaches us that we are to make our petitions earnestly, not relying on ourselves, or on any other creature, but upon the promises of God alone; that we are to unite our prayers with praise, ascribing to God alone his eternal sovereignty, omnipotence, and glorious excellency; that we may boldly and quietly trust in him, believing that he is able and willing to help us, and that he will grant our requests. And to testify that this is our desire and confidence, we say, Amen.

The conclusion of the Lord's Prayer is like the parable of the prodigal son, that all people who have turned away from God and are living as sinners in the world will turn to God and confess and praise that all things are under God's authority and that all things on this earth will pass away, but only the glory of God will remain.

Therefore, the day will come when all things on earth and all things in heaven will become one, everything will become the kingdom of God, and all things will sanctify God's name and praise God.

Because of the sins of the angels in the kingdom of God, the rest of the kingdom of God was broken, and to confine them, the world was created and mankind was created, but God predestined Christ, and through Christ's atoning death, He saves those who repent, and returns everything to its original state.

Therefore, the Lord's Prayer is for believers to know and understand these contents well and pray with the hope that the will of heaven will be done on earth. The will of heaven is that the kingdom of God will be established on this world.

Commentary on Christian Doctrine (Westminster Confession of Faith Larger Catechism)

  Commentary on Christian Doctrine (Westminster Confession of Faith Larger Catechism)   There are many denominations in Christianity, and each denomination has its own doctrines, and there are parts that are interpreted and defined differently. The reason why they set their own doctrines and make themselves exclusive denominations is that Christianity has become a religion. This is because they focus on how Christianity is different from other religions. However, Christianity is not a religion, but life itself toward God. People simply left God and created their own religion. This is what happened because the Christian community tried to differentiate itself from other religions. Originally, Christianity had no doctrine, but if there were to be a doctrine, it would only have two words: the death of Jesus Christ on the cross and the resurrection. In addition, if necessary, it would be helpful to have a commentary that interprets the meaning of the Bible for important pa...

Question 99. What rules must we observe in order to understand the Ten Commandments correctly?

  Question 99. What rules must we observe in order to understand the Ten Commandments correctly? Answer. In order to understand the Ten Commandments correctly, the following rules must be observed: 1. The law is perfect, and requires that every one follow its righteousness fully and for ever, and that he should thoroughly and completely fulfill all his duties, and forbid any sin, even the least. 2. The law is spiritual, and covers not only words, actions, and manners, but also the understanding, will, affections, and all other parts of the soul. 3. The same things in various respects are commanded or forbidden in several commandments. 4. Where a duty is commanded, the opposite sin is also forbidden, and where a sin is forbidden, the opposite duty is commanded, and where a promise is added, the opposite threatening is included, and where a threatening is added, the opposite promise is included. 5. What God forbids is not always to be done, but what he commands is always ou...

Question 3. What is the Word of God?

  Question 3. What is the Word of God? Answer. The Old and New Testaments are the Word of God and the only rule of faith and practice. According to the law of faith, the word of God can be found in the two main branches of the law and the gospel. The law can be said to be a commandment of action, “ Do or do not do, ” but the word of the law is a word that makes people realize that they are beings who cannot completely keep God ’ s commandments and to find Christ, and the gospel is that Christ has come, and if you enter into Christ, you will be saved. Therefore, the word of God can be said to be the law of faith that leads to salvation. However, if we look at it based on the only law of works, the law can be transformed into legalism. Because legalism emphasizes works, the gospel can be separate from works. If you enter into the faith of Jesus Christ, you will be saved, but it attaches a condition that works must follow. Attaching this condition is legalism. James 2:14-17 W...
