(ESV)\n\n        All three Persons of the Trinity, the One true God, are\n   involved in our salvation from sin and eternal death.  The Father\n   sent His Son into the world to take on our flesh and blood, to\n   pay the price of our sin.  The Holy Spirit creates the faith, the\n   trust, which acknowledges the truth that we cannot, by our own\n   works, redeem ourselves.\n\n        For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son,\n        that whoever believes in him should not perish but have\n        eternal life.  For God did not send his Son into the\n        world to condemn the world, but in order that the world\n        might be saved through him.\n\n\n        Jesus is quite clear that we do not and cannot cooperate in\n   our salvation from sin and death.  He speaks of the Father's love\n   and the work of the Holy Spirit.  Nowhere does He say we need to\n   make a decision or invite Him into our heart.  Nowhere does He\n   say we need to do good works before the Holy Spirit will accept\n   us.  You and I are sinners redeemed because of God's grace alone\n   as we do not reject the gift of faith which trusts in Christ\n   Jesus alone.\n\n        That is the message you will hear in the congregation named\n   for the Triune God, Trinity Lutheran Church, each Sunday morning\n   at 9:00 a.m.  Come, join us, hear God's Word which declares that\n   Jesus Christ died and rose again for you.\n\n        May our Lord grant us faith in the Triune God, Father, Son,\n   and Holy Spirit.  Amen.<\/code><\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>June 20, 2025 Broadcast<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3465","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-turn-your-radio-on-2025"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3465","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3465"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3465\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3466,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3465\/revisions\/3466"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3465"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3465"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3465"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
