Throwback Thursday: The Augsburg Confession tells a Story
Note: This beautiful little reflection on the structure of our beloved Augsburg Confession was offered up by Fr. Dodgers in 2020. ~ Ed.
Here’s a simple way to think through and remember the whole Augsburg Confession. This statement of faith is more than a random list of disconnected doctrines. The Augsburg Confession tells a Story. And this Story does not start with us, or at Augsburg, or with Luther. This Story starts with…
AC I – God
God exists. He is the Creator. This means you are not God.
AC II – Original Sin
The Problem is you think you are God. That’s Sin.
AC III – The Son of God
The Answer to your Problem is Jesus and His work.
