That we are not our own but belong to God.
God is the creator of everyone and everything.
There are three persons in one God: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
God created us male and female in his own image to glorify him.
God created all things and all his creation was very good.
By loving him and by obeying his commands and law.
That we love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength; and love our neighbor as ourselves.
You shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for yourself an idol. You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God. Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. Honor your father and your mother. You shall not murder. You shall not commit adultery. You shall not steal. You shall not give false testimony. You shall not covet.
First, that we know God as the only true God. Second, that we avoid all idolatry. Third, that we treat God’s name with fear and reverence.
Fourth, that on the Sabbath day we spend time in worship of God. Fifth, that we love and honor our father and our mother.
Sixth, that we do not hurt or hate our neighbor. Seventh, that we live purely and faithfully. Eighth, that we do not take without permission that which belongs to someone else.
Ninth, that we do not lie or deceive. Tenth, that we are content, not envying anyone.
Since the fall, no human has been able to keep the law of God perfectly.
No, but because of the disobedience of Adam and Eve we are all born in sin and guilt, unable to keep God’s law.
That we may know the holy nature of God, and the sinful nature of our hearts; and thus our need of a Savior.
Sin is rejecting or ignoring God in the world he created, rebelling against him by living without reference to him, not being or doing what he requires in his law—resulting in our death and the disintegration of all creation.
Idolatry is trusting in created things rather than the Creator for our hope and happiness, significance and security.
No, every sin is against the sovereignty, holiness, and goodness of God, and against his righteous law, and God is righteously angry with our sins and will punish them in his just judgment both in this life, and in the life to come.
Yes, to satisfy his justice, God himself, out of mere mercy, reconciles us to himself and delivers us from sin and from the punishment for sin, by a Redeemer.
The only Redeemer is the Lord Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, in whom God became man and bore the penalty for sin himself.
