Guilt, Grace, Gratitude

While Christians are bombarded with competing messages about the Christian faith, the Heidelberg Catechism speaks clearly. Its teaching on the gospel and Christian life is biblical, accessible, and pastoral. Its three-part structure of guilt (law), grace (gospel), and gratitude (sanctification) is framed by the comfort the Christian has in God alone.
