Lord's Day 1
Question 1 - What is your only comfort in life and death?Answer - That I am not my own,1 but belong with body and soul, both in life and in death,2 to my faithful Saviour Jesus Christ.3 He has fully paid for all my sins with His precious blood4, and has set me free from all the power of the devil.5 He also preserves me in such a way6 that without the will of my heavenly Father not a hair can fall from my head;7 indeed, all things must work together for my salvation.8 Therefore, by His Holy Spirit He also assures me of eternal life9 and makes me heartily willing and ready from now on to live for Him.10

問一:你生與死的唯一安慰是什麽? 答:在生和死兩者之中,我的身體,靈魂(1)都不屬於我自己(2),乃是屬於我信實的救主耶穌基督(3),他用寶血完全塗抹了我一切的罪,並且救贖我脫離魔鬼一切的權勢(5);他保守我(6),若非天父允許,我的頭發一根也不能掉下(7);他又叫萬事互相效力,使我得救(8)。因為我屬基督,他借著聖靈使我確實知道有永生(9),也使我從此以後甘心樂意為他而活(10)。 (1) 羅馬書14:8。(2) 哥林多前書6:19。(3) 哥林多前書3:23,提多書2:14。(4) 彼得前書1:18,19,約翰壹書1:7,2:2,12(5) 希伯來書2:14,約翰壹書3:8,約翰福音 8:34,35,36(6) 約翰福音6:39,10:28,帖撒羅尼迦後書3:3,彼得前書1:5(7) 馬可福音10:30,路加21:18(8) 羅馬書 8:28(9) 哥林多後書1:22,5:5,以弗所書1:14,羅馬書 8:16(10) 羅馬書 8:14,約翰壹書3:3
