The First Part – Of The Misery Of Man
LORD’S DAY 2
3. From where do you know your misery?
From the Law of God.1Romans 3:20; 7:7
4. What does the Law of God require of us?
Christ teaches us in sum, 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.”2Matthew 22:37-40; Luke 10:27; Deuteronomy 6:5; Galatians 5:14
5. Can you keep all this perfectly?
No3Romans 3:10-12, 23; 1 John 1:8, 10, for I am prone by nature to hate God and my neighbor.4Romans 8:7; Ephesians 2:3
