Plot

The liturgy is not a style of worship. The liturgy is the substance of justification as it is brought through means.This book is an introduction to the liturgy and its importance. It takes the liturgy and makes it easy for the layperson to understand that the New Testament church service brings God's presence, in Jesus the Christ to the people of God who have been cleansed from their sins. This is a holy meeting made possible by the blood of Christ that cleanses the believer. This understanding of the church service helps one to understand that the church service is more than a meeting place; it is the manifestation of the New Testament church on earth as Christ calls His bride around Word and Sacraments.Heaven on Earth will deepen your understanding of the Divine Service and why it remains the Church's chief worship service.
