The Our Father, also known as the Lord's Prayer, consists of an introduction, where we address God as "Our Father," followed by seven requests or petitions, including "Give us this day our daily bread" and "Lead us not into temptation," and concludes with the word "Amen," which means "so be it" or "let it be done." This structure is commonly used in Christian worship and is found in the Bible in Matthew 6:9-13 and Luke 11:2-4.Rate this question:

- E.

Correct Answer
B. God's name is always holy but we pray He makes it holy among sinnersExplanation
Martin Luther believes that God's name is always holy, but when we pray "May your name be holy," we are asking God to make his name holy among sinners. This means that we are asking God to reveal his holiness to those who do not know him and to bring about a transformation in their lives. By praying for God's name to be holy among sinners, we are acknowledging our own sinfulness and the need for God's grace to be made known to all.Rate this question:
