Only in Christ and because of Christ can men have such boldness. Only Christians can properly use the Lord\u2019s Prayer that was taught to them by the Son of God. Only those who have died and risen with Christ in baptism, and have received the power to become sons of God by the Holy Spirit in chrismation are enabled to approach the All-mighty God Most High as their Father (<em>Jn 1:12; Mt 6:9; Rom 8:14; Gal 4:4<\/em>).<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana,geneva;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In the early Church the Lord\u2019s Prayer was taught to people only after they had become members of Christ through baptism and chrismation. Just before receiving the gifts of Holy Communion \u201cfor remission of sins, for forgiveness of transgressions, for the communion of the Holy Spirit and for the inheritance of the Kingdom of Heaven,\u201d the faithful who have become children of God in Christ and the Spirit exercise their gift of divine sonship in the Saviour.
