Small Catechism 3

How can water do such great things?\nAnswer: it is not the water indeed that does them\nBut the Word of God that is in and with the water\nAnd faith which trusts such Word of God in the water\nFor without the Word of God, the water is simple water and no baptism\nBut with the Word of God, it is a baptism\nThat is, a gracious water of life and a washing of regeneration in the Holy\nGhost\nAs Saint Paul says, Titus chapter 3\n«By the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Ghost\nWhich He shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ, our Savior\nThat, being justified by His grace, we should be made heirs according to the\nhope of eternal life»\nThis is a faithful saying
