Psalm 119 celebrates the written word of God, and the Zayin stanza (vss. 49-56) emphasize how God's word comes to us as a covenantal promise. This stanza is key to understanding how Psalm 119 -- like the scriptures as a whole -- are not primarily law, but Gospel, gracious promises fulfilled in Christ.
Psalm 119 celebrates the word of God, and it has a clear understanding that this word should be rightly divided between law and gospel, command and promise.
Psalm 119 describes the Christian life as a journey, not a destination, and its focus on the "way" in which believers walk guided by the word is a central theme.
The Spirit infuses the entirety of the catechism, even if its treatment here is covered in a handful of Lord's Days. It is best to see the Spirit covered through the section on the church and the means of grace, as he applies the work of Christ to his people through the church.
Psalm 119 is a pillar and cornerstone of the psalter, yet it is poorly understood. The psalmist is calling us to delight in the word of God, and providing practical instruction for how we can grow in our love for this word. This psalm is truly a priceless jewel in the believer's faith.
The risen and ascended Christ rules and governs his church. Understanding the ascension and all its ramifications is thus tremendously practical.
The Ascension sets our eyes on Christ's heavenly glory and calls us to live a heavenly-minded life.
The resurrection is the Christian's hope, and it is our guarantee that we are justified by faith alone in Christ.
Isaiah concludes his "Book of Immanuel" by describing in detail the glorious reign that will come about "in that Day" when Immanuel comes to dwell with his people.
Isaiah warns Assyria. Though they are an instrument in God's hand, used to punish his rebellious children, he will execute his judgment on them for their evil deeds.
Jesus is the Second Adam, and we are saved by his humanity just as much as we are saved by his divinity.
1 Peter 1:13-25 and Heidelberg Catechism Lord's Day 13 Jesus is Lord || HC 13 Brian Lee
Our catechism is a fundamentally creedal and catholic document that teaches the basic truth of the gospel through the Apostles Creed. In this context, the oneness of God's essence and the threeness of his persons is essential to saving faith.
Isaiah sings a love song about the Lord and his vineyard, illustrating everything the Lord has done to provide for Israel, and how she rebelled from his good purposes. This story is bad news, but it is good news that our Lord Jesus Christ is the true and faithful Israel, and we can bear fruit as we are ingrafted into him by faith.
Senator Ben Sasse presents "The Church as Heaven's Embassy" as a part of Christ Reformed DC's spring lecture series, "Who Needs the Church in a Post-Christian World."
Christ receives a kingdom from the Father, and bestows this kingdom on his apostolic church. It is our blessing as New Covenant believers to be a part of this kingdom of grace and coming glory.
