Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name; worship the Lord in the splendor of holiness. Psalm 29:2

Join us this evening at 5:30pm, when Rev. Dr. Paul Ipema will be preaching from Psalm 10, "Is God an Absentee Father?" Tonight continues our study of the Heidelberg Catechism for Lord's Day 24:

62. Q. But why can our good works not be our righteousness before God, or at least a part of it?
A. Because the righteousness which can stand before God's judgment must be absolutely perfect and in complete agreement with the law of God, whereas even our best works in this life are all imperfect and defiled with sin.

63. Q. But do our good works earn nothing, even though God promises to reward them in this life and the next?
A. This reward is not earned; it is a gift of grace.

64. Q. Does this teaching not make people careless and wicked?
A. No. It is impossible that those grafted into Christ by true faith should not bring forth fruits of thankfulness.
