Law and Gospel, justification by faith alone
What does this mean for faith and life?
The Lord's Prayer teaches us to live entirely by grace. We ask for bread because we cannot provide for ourselves. We ask for forgiveness because we cannot save ourselves. God gives; we receive—that's the shape of faith.
We contribute nothing
God gives bread, forgiveness, protection—all of it
Prayer is receiving posture formalized
ἐπιούσιος appears nowhere else in Greek literature—scholars debate "daily/necessary/coming day"
Aorist ἄφες suggests decisive forgiveness
πειρασμός means testing/trial, not just temptation
