It just means that He promises that He will accompany and work through that Word - not just now and again, but whenever and however it is shared. "Bound" then just another way of saying the Word (in the sense of the good news about our Savior, the Eternal Word) and the Holy Spirit go invariably together, always working for our salvation.William Weedonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01383850332591975790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291232.post-1737098841648566242008-02-25T17:47:00.000-06:002008-02-25T17:47:00.000-06:00Um.

The "this" which "allows him to break off obedience to the devil completely and eternally, to fight victoriously against him, and to walk with a new heart in a new life" is not a decision on his part or a work of merit on his part, but the Holy Ghost who "finally fills him with power to hate all of the devil's works, even the subtlest of sins".Past Elderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10541968132598367551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291232.post-38565775860575981802008-02-25T16:46:00.000-06:002008-02-25T16:46:00.000-06:00Sounds like it might be a bit too close to "decisi...Sounds like it might be a bit too close to "decision theology" for confessional Lutherans.
