WSC Q85: How to Escape God's Wrath and Curse

Q. 85 What doth God require of us that we may escape His wrath and curse due to us for sin?

A. To escape the wrath and curse of God due to us for sin, God requireth of us faith in Jesus Christ, repentance unto life, with the diligent use of all the outward means whereby Christ communicateth to us the benefits of redemption.

The Jews are here brought face to face with the fact that they crucified their own Messiah. They cry out (v. 37), What must we do? (like question 85) and Peter tells them. I will follow the outline of the Catechism—faith, repentance, means of grace—and show you how each of these is found in Acts 2:36-47.
