Apostles’ Creed

​

Learn by Heart

 

James 1:13-14 Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am being tempted by God," for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempts no one.  But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire.

 

1 Peter 5:8-9 Be sober-minded; be watchful.  Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.

 

The Second Petition

Thy kingdom come.

 

What does this mean?

The kingdom of God certainly comes by itself without our prayer, but we pray in this petition that it may come to us also.

 

How does God’s kingdom come?

God’s kingdom comes when our heavenly Father gives us His Holy Spirit, so that by His grace we believe His holy Word and lead godly lives here in time and there in eternity.
