Heidelberg Catechism - Sundays / February 24, 1563

LORD’S DAY 8

24. How are these articles divided?

Into three parts: the first is of God the Father and our creation; the second, of God the Son and our redemption; the third, of God the Holy Spirit and our sanctification.¹

25. Since there is but one Divine Being, why do you speak of three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit?

Because God has so revealed Himself² in His Word,³ that these three distinct persons are the one, true, eternal God.

Zacharias Ursinus & Caspar Olevianus, 1563
