Blessed Lord's day brethren! Today is the seventh Sunday after Pentecost.
Every Lord's day I post part of a reformation confession or catechism. This week we have Lords day 11 from the Heidelberg Catechism.
Of God The Son
Lord’s Day 11
Q. Why is the Son of God called “Jesus” meaning “saviour”?
A. Because He saves us from our sins. Salvation cannot be found in anyone else; it is futile to look for any salvation elsewhere.
Isaiah 43:11; Matthew 1:21; John 15:5; Acts 4:11,12; 1 Timothy 2:5; Hebrews 7:25.
Q. Do those who look for their salvation and security in saints, in themselves, or elsewhere really believe in the only saviour Jesus?
A. No. Although they boast of being His, by their deeds they deny the only saviour and deliverer, Jesus. Either Jesus is not a perfect saviour, or those who in true faith accept this saviour have in Him all they need for their salvation.
1 Corinthians 1:12,13; Galatians 5:4; Colossians 1:19,20; Colossians 2:10; 1 John 1:7.
