Chapters 14-16 Flashcards
Galatians 2:21:
If righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died in vain.
How do you know there is a God?
I know that there is a God because He reveals Himself in the creation and preservation of the world, in the conscience of man, and especially in His Word, the Bible.
John 20:31:
These are written that you may believe that Jesus is that Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name.
Why do you believe that God is triune?
The one true God is the Triune God because the Bible teaches that there is only one God, but three distinct Persons in the Godhead: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
Deuteronomy 6:4:
Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one!
Numbers 6:24-26:
The LORD bless you and keep you; The LORD make His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you; The LORD lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace.
Matthew 28:19
Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
Why is the doctrine of the Trinity so important?
The doctrine of the Trinity is so important because it is the teaching concerning the one true God, in whom alone there is salvation.
The First Article
I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth.
What does this mean?
I believe that God has made me and all creatures; that He has given me my body and soul, eyes, ears and all my members, my reason and all my senses , and still preserves them; that He richly and daily provides me with food and clothing, home and family, property and goods, and all that I need to support this body and life; that He protects me from all danger, guards and keeps me from all evil; and all that purely out of fatherly, divine goodness and mercy, without any merit or worthiness in me; for all which I am in duty bound to thank and praise, to serve and obey Him. This is most certainly true.
Exodus 20:11
In six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them.
What is the image of God?
The image of God is the true knowledge of God and the perfect righteousness and holiness which our first parents, Adam and Eve, possessed before the Fall.
Ephesians 4:24:
Put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness.
What is our natural condition since the Fall into sin?
Since the Fall all our spiritual understanding is completely darkened; we are enemies of God, afraid of Him, and subject to sorrow, sickness and death.
Isaiah 59:2:
Your iniquities have separated you from your God.
