The structure and outline of Heidelberg is about the guilt, the Grace and the gratitude . Is about the faithful Saviour,Jesus Christ and Gods grace for salvation.
It strikes me about Gods salvation to all mankind . He believe in God, the Father almighty, restored of heaven and earth
His belief:
A. That I am not my own,1 but belong—body and soul, in life and in death2—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. Three things: first, how great my sin and misery are;1 second, how I am set free from all my sins and misery;2 third, how I am to thank God for such deliverance.3
1 Rom. 3:9-10; 1 John 1:10
2 John 17:3; Acts 4:12; 10:43 -
Heidelberg clearly balanced the 3 offices and inculcated them into One calling without any deficit whatsoever.
Some scriptures illustrating these claims are in: [1] Isaiah 9:6-7. [2] 1 Corinthians 12; 8-11. [3] 1 Peter 2; 9.
[4] Luke 4; 18, and many more scriptures in the Bible.
