Sermons on the Heidelberg Catechism
Sermon #16 “The Identity of the True Christian”
Lord’s Day 12 — Questions #31 and #32
This sermon addresses more aspects of what it means to believe in Christ, what it means to be a Christian, and reveals how our beliefs should affect our daily lives as Christians. Rev. Elshout calls all believers to self-examination, and to deeper levels of commitment to the Lord. This, under four headings:
1. Christians Are Members of Christ
2. Christians Confess the Name of Christ
3. Christians Are Devoted to Christ
4. Christians Are Soldiers of Christ
