Augsburg Confession: Chief Articles of the faith. AC 19: The Cause of Sin

God has made me all and creatures and still takes care of us. Yet, God is not the source of sin. We are corrupted by the choices of Adam and Eve while the devil continues to cause chaos like a roaring lion. Our identity in Christ shows us that we are not defined by the world or by our desires, as Christ has called us His own by His blood, and only by God’s grace and mercy in Christ are we able to do anything good.

Rev. Peter Schmidt, pastor of Beautiful Savior Lutheran Church & School in Waukesha, WI joins Rev. Brady Finnern to confess the Truth of the Cause of Sin.
