Heidelberg Catechism / Lord's Day 13 / Q. 34

Q. 34. Wherefore callest thou him, Our Lord ?

Question. Wherefore callest thou him, Our Lord ?

Answer. Because he has redeemed us, both soul and body, from all our sins (1 Cor. 6;20); not with gold or silver, but with his precious blood (Col. 1;14); and has delivered us from all the power of the devil, and thus made us his own property (Heb. 2;14, 15).

Proofs.

  • [proof-1] 1 Cor. 6;20.—For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.— Titus 2;14.—Gal. 4;4, 5.—Mark 10;45.
  • [proof-2] Col. 1;14.—In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins.—1 Pet. 1;18, 19.—1 John 1;7.—1 Cor. 7;23.—1 Tim. 2;6.
  • [proof-3] Heb. 2;14, 15.—That through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil.—1 John 3;8.—1 Pet. 2;9.
