But we have no need to climb up to heaven on our own. The triune God has come down to earth for us. His Son has become incarnate for us, embodied for us embodied creatures. He is now available to us through His Word. The Sacred Scriptures not only teach us about eternal life but also bestow it. We also have "the real teacher of the Scriptures," the Holy Spirit, who uses the Scriptures to teach us the things of God.
