Q27: Are all people, just as they were lost through Adam, saved through Christ?

August 17, 2014 | By

No, only those who are elected by God and united to Christ by faith. Nevertheless God in his mercy demonstrates common grace even to those who are not elect, by restraining the effects of sin and enabling works of culture for human well-being.

Q25: Does Christ’s death mean all our sins can be forgiven?

August 3, 2014 | By

Q24: Why was it necessary for Christ, the Redeemer, to die?

July 27, 2014 | By

Since death is the punishment for sin, Christ died willingly in our place to deliver us from the power and penalty of sin and bring us back to God. By his substitutionary atoning death, he alone redeems us from hell and gains for us forgiveness of sin, righteousness, and everlasting life.

Q18: Will God allow our disobedience and idolatry to go unpunished?

June 15, 2014 | By

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.
