Day 25 • Question 67
67
Are
both
the
Word
and
the
sacraments
then
intended
to
focus
our
faith
on
the
sacrifice
of
Jesus
Christ
on
the
cross
as
the
only
ground
of
our
salvation?
Yes,
indeed.
The
Holy
Spirit
teaches
us
in
the
gospel
and
assures
us
by
the
sacraments
that
our
entire
salvation
rests
on
Christ's
one
sacrifice
for
us
on
the
cross.
