Heidelberg Catechism, Lord’s Day 1

What is your only comfort in life and in death?

A- That I am not my own,1 but belong— body and soul, in life and in death—2 to my faithful Savior Jesus Christ. 3 He has fully paid for all my sins with his precious blood,4 and has set me free from the tyranny of the devil.5 He also watches over me in such a way6 that not a hair can fall from my head without the will of my Father in heaven:7 in fact, all things must work together for my salvation.8 Because I belong to him, Christ, by his Holy Spirit, assures me of eternal life9 and makes me wholeheartedly willing and ready from now on to live for him.10 (1 1 Cor. 6:19-20; 2 Rom. 14:7-9;3 1 Cor. 3:23; Titus 2:14;4 1 Pet. 1:18-19; 1 John 1:7-9; 2:2;5 John 8:34-36; Heb. 2:14-15; 1 John 3:1-11;6 John 6:39-40; 10:27-30; 2 Thess. 3:3; 1 Pet. 1:5;7 Matt. 10:29-
