Memory April 7-11

Memory Work for 7^th grade

April 07 – 11

Monday

John 1:14  And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.

Tuesday

1 Peter 2:24   He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed.

Wednesday

First part of baptism - What is Baptism?  Baptism is not just plain water, but it is in the water included in God’s command and combined with God’s word.

Thursday

Second part of baptism – what benefits does Baptism give?  It works forgiveness of sins, rescues from death and the devil, and gives eternal salvation to all who believe this, as the words and promises of God declare.

Friday

Third part of baptism – How can water do such great things?  Certainly not just water, but the word of God in and with the water does these things, along with the faith which trusts this word of God in the water.  For without God’s word the water is plain water and no baptism.  But with the word of God it is a baptism, that is a life-giving water, rich in grace, and a washing of the new birth in the Holy Spirit.
