§2813In the waters of Baptism, we have been "washed . . . sanctified . . . justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God."79 Our Father calls us to holiness in the whole of our life, and since "he is the source of (our) life in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God, and . . .sanctification,"80 both his glory and our life depend on the hallowin…
2. This then is one way, and the first, by which he cast down their pride; the next has greater force. What then is this? In that he shows that not even this thing itself was in all points complete, but imperfect, and extremely so. And not only imperfect, but also injurious, unless there were another thing joined together with it. For having said that we have knowledge, he adde…
Chapter 24.—Against Those Who Fancy that in the Judgment of God All the Accused Will Be Spared in Virtue of the Prayers of the Saints. And this reasoning is equally conclusive against those who, in their own interest, but under the guise of a greater tenderness of spirit, attempt to invalidate the words of God, and who assert that these words are true, not because men shall suf…
§42The progressive exploration of the antiquities of the East, mentioned above, the more accurate examination of the original text itself, the more extensive and exact knowledge of languages both biblical and oriental, have with the help of God, happily provided the solution of not a few of those questions, which in the time of Our Predecessor Leo XIII of immortal memory, were rai…
§58There those who are wearied and oppressed by adversities and afflictions will find true consolation and divine strength to suffer and bear with patience; there - that is in the Holy Gospels - Christ, the highest and greatest example of justice, charity and mercy, is present to all; and to the lacerated and trembling human race are laid open the fountains of that divine grace wi…
1. How Christians are the Spiritual Israel. That people which was called of old the people of God was divided into twelve tribes, and over and above the other tribes it had the levitical order, which itself again carried on the service of God in various priestly and levitical suborders. In the same manner, it appears to me that the whole people of Christ, when we regard it in t…
1. Concerning Those Who Asked Him to Show Them a Sign from Heaven. And the Sadducees and Pharisees came, and tempting Him kept asking Him to show them a sign from heaven. Matthew 16:1 The Sadducees and Pharisees who disagreed with each other in regard to the most essential truths, — for the Pharisees champion the doctrine of the resurrection of the dead, hoping that there will …
41. And if, as David says in the 71st Psalm, 'His Name remains before the sun, and before the moon, from one generation to another ,' how did He receive what He had always, even before He now received it? Or how is He exalted, being before His exaltation the Most High? Or how did He receive the right of being worshipped, who before He now received it, was ever worshipped? It is…
He describes the twenty-ninth year of his age, in which, having discovered the fallacies of the Manichæans, he professed rhetoric at Rome and Milan. Having heard Ambrose, he begins to come to himself. Chapter 1. That It Becomes the Soul to Praise God, and to Confess Unto Him. 1. Accept the sacrifice of my confessions by the agency of my tongue, which You have formed and quicken…

Should wisdom be reckoned among the gifts of the Holy Ghost? What is its subject? Is wisdom only speculative or also practical? Is the wisdom that is a gift compatible with mortal sin? Is it in all those who have sanctifying grace? Which beatitude corresponds to it? Article 1. Whether wisdom should be reckoned among the gifts of the Holy Ghost? Objection 1. It would seem that w…
Was there sin in Christ? Was there the "fomes" of sin in Him? Was there ignorance? Was His soul passible? Was there sensible pain in Him? Was there sorrow? Was there fear? Was there wonder? Was there anger? Was He at once wayfarer and comprehensor? Article 1. Whether there was sin in Christ? Objection 1. It would seem that there was sin in Christ. For it is written (Psalm 21:2)…
Was it necessary for Christ to suffer for men's deliverance? Was there any other possible means of delivering men? Was this the more suitable means? Was it fitting for Christ to suffer on the cross? The extent of His sufferings Was the pain which He endured the greatest? Did His entire soul suffer? Did His Passion hinder the joy of fruition? The time of the Passion The place Wa…
Christ is our righteousness. From that it follows that our works, insofar as they are good, are of Christ; but insofar as they are ours, they are neither right nor good. The property of a Christian is not to argue and fight but to do works of love, since no one is bound to do things God has not decreed.
Jesus Christ is not only a Redeemer but a sanctifier. You must receive Him in all His offices: as your Prophet to instruct you, your Priest to make atonement for you, and your King to reign over you. If you take Christ as your Saviour but refuse Him as your Lord, you take Christ by halves and that is no taking of Him at all.
Heidelberg Catechism · 3 passages
Q. And who is this mediator — true God and at the same time truly human and truly righteous? A. Our Lord Jesus Christ, who was given us to set us completely free and to make us right with God.
Q. How does the holy conception and birth of Christ benefit you? A. He is our mediator, and with his innocence and perfect holiness he removes from God's sight my sin — mine since I was conceived.
Q. Why do you say that by faith alone you are right with God? A. It is not because of any value my faith has that God is pleased with me. Only Christ's satisfaction, righteousness, and holiness make me right with God. And I can receive this righteousness and make it mine in no other way than by faith alone.
The fact that others who are called through the ministry of the gospel do come and are brought to conversion must not be credited to humanity, as though one distinguishes oneself by free choice from others who are furnished with equal or sufficient grace for faith and conversion (as the proud heresy of Pelagius maintains). No, it must be credited to God, who — just as he has ch…
All that we have hitherto said of Christ leads to this one result: that condemned, dead, and lost in ourselves, we must in Him seek righteousness, deliverance, life, and salvation. Such is the foundation of that faith which the apostle taught: 'Other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.' See 1 Cor. iii. 11. And He was given us by the bounty of God…
