A Confession

A real-life question at the heart of a national transformation…

”What is your only comfort, in life and death?”

The only answer…

”That I belong—body and soul, in life and in death—not to myself but to my faithful Savior, Jesus Christ, who at the cost of his own blood has fully paid for all my sins and has completely freed me from the dominion of the devil;

And that he protects me so well that without the will of my Father in heaven, not a hair can fall from my head;

Moreover, whatever evil comes to me in this troubled life he will turn to my good, for he is able to do it, being almighty God, and is determined to do it, being a faithful Father.”

The Heidelberg Catechism, A.D. 1563
