COT:
I recently discovered this devotional book called The New City Catechism which is introduced by Tim Keller. If you know me, you know that I have a thirst for truth and knowledge, especially when it comes to the things of God and reality. Also, you know that I’m 50 and in order to pay respect to this old brain of mine, I have to keep it in working condition. That brings me to…
Catechisms. What are they?
Catechisms are statements of faith written in the form of questions and answers. Derived from the greek word katechein which means ‘to teach orally or to instruct by word of mouth”.
This book has 52 questions and answers, for 52 weeks of the year. It’s based on and adapted from some old reformation-era catechisms, which used to be very common to practice for Christian growth and training. They are divided into 3 parts: 1) God, creation and fall, law, 2) Christ, redemption, grace and 3) Spirit, restoration, growing in grace.
For example:
Q: What is our only hope in life and death?
A: That we are not our own but belong, body and soul, both in life and death, to God and to our Savior Jesus Christ.
Q: How can we be saved?
A: Only by faith in Jesus Christ and in his substitutionary atoning death on the cross; so even though we are guilty of having disobeyed God and are still inclined to all evil, nevertheless, God, without any merit of our own but only by pure grace, imputes to us the perfect righteousness of Christ when we repent and believe in him.
So, if you are a believer why not memorize some truths and solidify the foundations of your beliefs today? Memorize the new catechisms!
