Der zweite Teil: Von des Menschen Erlösung — 20. Sonntag
The Person and Work of the Holy Spirit
This section defines the divinity of the Holy Spirit and His personal role in applying Christ's benefits to the believer.
What do you believe about the Holy Spirit? First: The Holy Spirit is of the same essence as the eternal God, with the Father and the Son. Second, He is also given to me, and through true faith, He grants me a share in Christ and all His benefits. He comforts me and will remain with me forever.
Read the original Latin
Was glaubst du vom Heiligen Geist? Erstens: Der Heilige Geist ist gleich ewiger Gott mit dem Vater und dem Sohn. Zweitens: Er ist auch mir gegeben und gibt mir durch wahren Glauben Anteil an Christus und allen seinen Wohltaten. Er tröstet mich und wird bei mir bleiben in Ewigkeit.
Heidelberg Catechism (Heidelbergse Catechismus) companion
Rule yourself daily, not just on retreat
Chosen Portion turns the mirror into a daily practice — a short reading and examining question each morning before you lead anyone.
Chosen Portion makes the mirror daily: the ruler-formation questions this collection preserves become a two-minute morning examination in the app.
- A daily formation reading drawn from centuries of counsel to those in authority
- One pointed examination question a day — two minutes, before the meetings start
- Track your practice over weeks and watch the examined life become a habit
