For here in all three articles God has revealed Himself and opened to us the deepest abyss of His fatherly heart and His pure, inexpressible love. He has created us for this very reason, that He might redeem and sanctify us. LC II:64
Jesus is the mirror of the fatherly heart, outside of whom we see nothing but an angry and terrible Judge. But we couldn’t know anything about Christ either, unless it had been revealed by the Holy Spirit. LC II:65
The Creed tells us what God does for us and gives to us. LC II:67
The Creed brings pure grace and makes us godly and acceptable to God. For by this knowledge we love and delight in all God’s commandments. Here we see that God gives Himself to us completely.... The Father gives all creatures. The Son gives His entire work. The Holy Spirit bestows all His gifts. LC II: 68
