In ordinary life we function by the principle that performance equals compensation. This is also the principle that most religions teach. Christianity is different. But because the system of merit comes so easily to us the Catechism takes the time to answer three objections to the Bible doctrine of free grace in a pastorally and apologetically practical way.
Pastor Boekestein continues a year-long biblical study into the basics of Christian doctrine using the Heidelberg Catechism (1563) as a guide. This catechism follows the outline of the book of Romans and thus clearly explains the gospel by hitting on the main points of man's sin, Christ's redemption and man's gratitude.
