Blessed Lord's day brethren! Today is the fifth Sunday after Pentecost.
Every Lord's day I post part of a reformation confession or catechism. This week we have Lords day 9 from the Heidelberg Catechism.
Of God The Father
Lord’s Day 9
Q. What do you believe when you say: “I believe in God the Father, almighty, maker of heaven and earth”?
A. That the eternal Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who out of nothing created heaven and earth and everything in them, who still upholds and rules them by His eternal counsel and providence, is my God and Father because of Christ His Son. I trust Him so much that I do not doubt He will provide whatever I need for body and soul, and He will turn to my good whatever adversity He sends me in this sad world. He is able to do this because He is almighty God; He desires to do this because He is a faithful Father.
