      PART 1

      Question 1: What is the chief and highest end of man?

      Answer: Man’s chief and highest end is to glorify God, and fully to enjoy him forever.

      Question 2: How does it appear that there is a God?

      Answer: The very light of nature in man, and the works of God, declare plainly that there is a God; but his Word and Spirit only do sufficiently and effectually reveal him unto men for their salvation.

      Question 3: What is the Word of God?

      Answer: The holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the Word of God, the only rule of faith and obedience.

      Question 4: How does it appear that the Scriptures are the Word of God?

      Answer: The Scriptures manifest themselves to be the Word of God, by their majesty and purity; by the consent of all the parts, and the scope of the whole, which is to give all glory to God; by their light and power to convince and convert sinners, to comfort and build up believers unto salvation: but the Spirit of God bearing witness by and with the Scriptures in the heart of man, is alone able fully to persuade it that they are the very Word of God.

      Question 5: What do the Scriptures principally teach?

      Answer: The Scriptures principally teach,: What man is to believe concerning God, and: What duty God requires of man.

      Question 6: What do the Scriptures make known of God?

      Answer: The Scriptures make known: What God is, the persons in the Godhead, his decrees, and the execution of his decrees.

      Question 7: What is God?

      Answer: God is a Spirit, in and of himself infinite in being, glory, blessedness, and perfection; all-sufficient, eternal, unchangeable, incomprehensible, everywhere present, almighty, knowing all things, most wise, most holy, most just, most merciful and gracious, long-suffering, and abundant in goodness and truth.

      Question 8: Are there more Gods than one?

      Answer: There is but one only, the living and true God.

      Question 9: How many persons are there in the Godhead?

      Answer: There be three persons in the Godhead, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost; and these three are one true, eternal God, the same in substance, equal in power and glory; although distinguished by their personal properties.

      Question 10: What are the personal properties of the three persons in the Godhead?

      Answer: It is proper to the Father to beget the Son, and to the Son to be begotten of the Father, and to the Holy Ghost to proceed from the Father and the Son from all eternity.

      Question 11: How does it appear that the Son and the Holy Ghost are God equal with the Father?

      Answer: The Scriptures manifest that the Son and the Holy Ghost are God equal with the Father, ascribing unto them such names, attributes, works, and worship, as are proper to God only.

      Question 12: What are the decrees of God?

      Answer: God’s decrees are the wise, free, and holy acts of the counsel of his will, whereby, from all eternity, he has, for his own glory, unchangeably foreordained: Whatsoever comes to pass in time, especially concerning angels and men.

      Question 13: What has God especially decreed concerning angels and men?

      Answer: God, by an eternal and immutable decree, out of his mere love, for the praise of his glorious grace, to be manifested in due time, has elected some angels to glory; and in Christ has chosen some men to eternal life, and the means thereof: and also, according to his sovereign power, and the unsearchable counsel of his own will (whereby he extends or withholds favor as he pleases), has passed by and foreordained the rest to dishonor and wrath, to be for their sin inflicted, to the praise of the glory of his justice.

      Question 14: How does God execute his decrees?

      Answer: God executes his decrees in the works of creation and providence, according to his infallible foreknowledge, and the free and immutable counsel of his own will.

      Question 15: What is the work of creation?

      Answer: The work of creation
