Day by Day with Martin Luther

Read: Deut. 4:1-49 Luke 6:39-7:10 Proverbs 11:28

“Joined by Faith”

“We are members of His body.”
[Ephesians 5:30]

Faith must be taught correctly, namely, that by it you are so cemented to Christ that He and you are as one person, which cannot be separated but remains attached to Him forever and declares: “I am as Christ”. And Christ, in turn, says: “I am as that sinner who is attached to Me, and I to him. For by faith we are joined together into one flesh and one bone.” Thus Ephesians 5:30 says: “we are members of the body of Christ …”, in such a way that this faith couples Christ and me more intimately that a husband and wife relate to one another. Therefore, this faith is no idle quality.
