CHRIST IS KING;
THE CHURCH HIS BRIDE
“Worthy are you to take the scroll and to open its seals, for you were slain, and by your blood you ransomed people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation and you have made them a kingdom and priests to our God, and they shall reign on the earth.”
The Gospel & The Heidelberg Catechism
One instrument that has been handed down to us to help Christians supplement their faith, and keep them from being ineffective or unfruitful in the knowledge of Jesus Christ, is the catechism. So, today, we are going to focus on my personal favorite, The Heidelberg Catechism.
What is a catechism? According to Webster’s Dictionary 1828, a catechism is "A form of instruction by means of questions and answers, particularly in the principles of religion.” What I find unique in the Heidelberg Catechism’s format is that through the Questions and Answers, the individual is logically taken through the gospel.
