The Reading of Scripture

§ The Confession of Faith
Heidelberg Catechism
Question #9-11
Leader: But doesn’t God do us an injustice by requiring in His law what we are unable to do?
People: No. God created human beings with the ability to keep the law. They, however, provoked by the devil, in willful disobedience, robbed themselves and all their descendants of these gifts.
Leader: Does God permit such disobedience and rebellion to go unpunished?
People: Certainly not. God is terribly angry with the sin we are born with as well as the sins we personally commit. As a just judge, God will punish them both now and in eternity, having declared: “Cursed is everyone who does not observe and obey all the things written in the book of the law.”
Leader: But isn’t God also merciful?
People: God is certainly merciful, but also just. God’s justice demands that sin, committed against His supreme majesty, be punished with the supreme penalty—eternal punishment of body and soul.
