_No man can say that Jesus is the Lord but by the Holy Ghost._ 1 Cor.

apostle say 1 Cor. 12,3? 14. Who alone can bring us to Christ and work

LESSON 32.
The Third Article.
The Holy Ghost Has Called Me.
Which is the Third Article?
_I believe in the Holy Ghost._
What does this mean?
_I believe that I cannot by my own reason or strength believe in Jesus
Christ, my Lord, or come to Him, but the Holy Ghost has called me by the
Gospel._
1. We cannot by our own reason or strength believe in Jesus Christ, our
Lord, or come to Him. The Holy Ghost alone is able to bring us to
Christ, our Savior. How does He bring us to Christ? We confess as
children of God that _the Holy Ghost has called me by the Gospel._ By
calling me through the Gospel, the Holy Ghost has brought me to Jesus
Christ, my Lord and Savior. Let us see what this means.
