LORD'S DAY 1
1. What is your only comfort in life and in death?
That I, with body and soul, both in life and in death,[1] am not my own,[2] but belong to my faithful Savior Jesus Christ,[3] who with His precious blood[4] has fully satisfied for all my sins,[5] and redeemed me from all the power of the devil;[6] and so preserves me[7] that without the will of my Father in heaven not a hair can fall from my head;[8] indeed, that all things must work together for my salvation.[9] Wherefore, by His Holy Spirit, He also assures me of eternal life,[10] and makes me heartily willing and ready from now on to live unto Him.[11]
2. How many things are necessary for you to know, that in this comfort you may live and die happily?
Three things:[1]
First, the greatness of my sin and misery.[2]
Second, how I am redeemed from all my sins and misery.[3]
Third, how I am to be thankful to God for such redemption.[4]
