Lord's Day #13 Believing in the Only Begotten Lord

These recordings were are from our morning worship services here at Northland Reformed. Each week we read and reflect on one of the Heidelberg Catechism's 52 Lord's Days.

Lord's Day 13
33. Why is He called God’s “only begotten Son,” since we also are the children of God?

Because Christ alone is the eternal, natural Son of God,1 but we are children of God by adoption, through grace, for His sake.2

[1] Jn. 1:14, 18. [2] Rom. 8:15–17; Eph. 1:5–6; *1 Jn. 3:1.

34. Why do you call Him “our Lord”?

Because not with silver or gold, but with His precious blood, He has redeemed and purchased us, body and soul, from sin and from all the power of the devil, to be His own.1

[1] 1 Pet. 1:18–19; 2:9; 1 Cor. 6:20; 7:23; *Acts 2:36; *Tit. 2:14; *Col. 1:14.
