§ The Confession of Faith      
Heidelberg Catechism      
Question #3-5
Leader: How do you come to know your misery?
People: The law of God tells me.
Leader: What does God’s law require of us?
People: Christ teaches us this in summary in Matthew 22:37-40: “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.”
Leader: Can you live up to all this perfectly?
People: No. I have a natural tendency to hate God and my neighbor.
