"I believe that I cannot by my own reason or strength believe in Jesus Christ, my Lord,
or come to Him; but the Holy Spirit has called me by the Gospel, enlightened me with His gifts, sanctified and kept me
in the true faith; even as He calls, gathers, enlightens, and sanctifies the whole Christian Church on earth, and keeps
it with Jesus Christ in the one true faith; in which Christian Church He daily and richly forgives all sins to me and
all believers, and will at the Last Day raise me and all believers in Christ eternal life. This is most certainly true."
--Martin Luther's explanation of the Third Article of the Apostle's Creed from the
Small Catechism
