HEIDELBERG CATECHISM

Questions and Answers 24, 25 and 53

Q. 24. How are these articles divided?

A. Into three parts; the first is of God the Father, and our creation; the second of God the Son, and our redemption; the third of God the Holy Ghost, and our sanctification.

Q. 25. Since there is but one only divine essence, why speakest thou of Father, Son, and Holy Ghost?

A. Because God hath so revealed Himself in His Word, that these three distinct persons are the one only true and eternal God.

Q. 53. What dost thou believe concerning the Holy Ghost?

A. First, that He is true and co-eternal God with the Father and the Son; secondly, that He is also given me, to make me by a true faith, partaker of Christ and all His benefits, that He may comfort me and abide with me forever.
