Conceived by the Spirit, Born of Mary (John 10:22–39; Lord’s Day 14)

His Son, Our Lord (Hebrews 1:1–13; Lord’s Day 13)
Christ alone is the eternal, natural Son of God; we are adopted children by grace. And with his precious blood he purchased us to be his very own.
Christ and the Christian (Psalm 45:7; Lord’s Day 12)
Christ is anointed as our prophet, priest, and king—the triple cure for our ignorance, guilt, and corruption—and every Christian shares in his anointing.
I Believe in Jesus (Mark 2:1–12; Lord’s Day 11)
Names have meaning, and Jesus means Savior: he saves us from our sins, and salvation is not to be sought or found in anyone else. Mark 2 and Q&A 29–30.
The Father Almighty (Ephesians 1:11; Lord’s Day 10)

I Believe in God (Jeremiah 10:1–16; Lord’s Day 9)

Why the Trinity Matters (Matthew 28:19; Lord’s Day 8)

You Gotta Have Faith (John 3:16; Lord’s Day 7)

Jesus is the Gospel (Romans 1:1–4; Lord’s Day 6)

Who May Lay His Hand On Us Both? (Job 9:1–33; Lord’s Day 6)

I Need Satisfaction (Romans 8:1–8; Lord’s Day 5)
God requires that his justice be satisfied. Why we cannot make the payment ourselves and what kind of mediator and deliverer we must look for instead.
