About This Book

An abridged question-and-answer exposition of a Lutheran catechism, translated into plain English for young readers, offers clear explanations of the Ten Commandments, the three articles of the Creed (creation, redemption, sanctification), and the Lord's Prayer. Each brief question prompts a concise answer that interprets theological phrases, links doctrine to everyday duties, and emphasizes fearing, loving, and trusting God, repentance and forgiveness, and right conduct. Scripture quotations are used to support the explanations, and the translator prioritizes simplicity and devotional clarity while preserving the catechetical teaching structure.

263. Why do you end your confession of faith with the word Amen?

Because I know that what I here confess is certainly true.

264. What must you do that you may continue steadfast in faith and also increase therein?

I will pray God every day graciously to help and strengthen me.


PART THREE.

THE LORD'S PRAYER.

265. What is prayer?

Prayer is the child-like communion of our hearts with God, in which we tell Him all our needs, and earnestly seek some gift from Him.
