I Bind unto Myself Today
I bind unto myself today
The strong name of the Trinity
By invocation of the same,
The Three in One and One in Three.
I bind this day to me forever,
By pow’r of faith, Christ’s incarnation,
His Baptism in the Jordan River,
His cross of death for my salvation,
His bursting from the spicèd tomb,
His riding up the heav’nly way,
His coming at the day of doom,
I bind unto myself today.
I bind unto myself today
The pow’r of God to hold and lead,
His eye to watch, His might to stay,
His ear to hearken to my need,
The wisdom of my God to teach,
His hand to guide, His shield to ward,
The Word of God to give me speech,
His heav’nly host to be my guard.
Against the demon snares of sin,
The vice that gives temptation force,
The natural lusts that war within,
The hostile foes that mar my course;
Or few or many, far or nigh,
In ev’ry place and in all hours,
Against their fierce hostility,
I bind to me those holy pow’rs.
I bind unto myself the name,
The strong name of the Trinity
By invocation of the same,
The Three in One and One in Three,
Of whom all nature has creation,
Eternal Father, Spirit, Word.
Praise to the Lord of my salvation;
Salvation is of Christ the Lord!

Lecture 2- True Theology is About our Redeemer

The subject of true theology is the knowledge of God and divine things. The true knowledge of God comes through Jesus Christ. The goal of theology is faith in Jesus Christ here on earth and life with God forever in heaven. Only in Jesus can we obtain the knowledge of salvation, the forgiveness of sins, and life everlasting. Only by the revealed knowledge of God are we able to know who Jesus truly is. In this lecture, we see that the Father reveals Jesus to us at the Jordan River and on the Mount of Transfiguration. He teaches us to listen to Jesus. Jesus has the words of eternal life. Furthermore, Jesus reveals the Father to us. It is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father. When we see Jesus, we see the Father. To know Jesus is to know the Father.
