Deliver us from evil
The fight for our souls
All through our life there is a fight for our souls going on between God and the Devil. It started as soon as we were born, and it will end in victory for one side or the other when we die. On the one hand is the all-good and all-holy God who made us and who loves us; and on the other is the Devil, the Spirit and Lord of Evil, who hates us.
The Ten Commandments
This section in Holy Faith explains the Ten Commandments in the light of New Testament teaching. It forms part of Introduction to the Christian Faith which was originally written as a three-year Catechism course for children; the style and language reflect this fact.
Duty and the Ten Commandments
Duty
On October 21st 1805, the most famous sea battle in English history was fought, the Battle of Trafalgar. Just before it began, Lord Nelson in his flagship Victory made his memorable signal, “England expects every man will do his duty”. The Victory is now on shore at Portsmouth, and every year on Trafalgar Day the signal flags flutter out from its rigging and send out once again that message of Nelson. As you probably know, he was killed during the battle, and his last words, as he died at half past four in the afternoon, were “Thank God, I have done my duty”.
