Question 1. What is your only comfort in life and death?
Answer. That I with body and soul, both in life and death, am not my own, but belong unto my faithful Savior Jesus Christ; who, with his precious blood, has fully satisfied for all my sins, and delivered me from all the power of the devil; and so preserves me that without the will of my heavenly Father, not a hair can fall from my head; indeed, that all things must be subservient to my salvation, and therefore, by his Holy Spirit, he also assures me of eternal life, and makes me sincerely willing and ready, henceforth, to live unto him.
Our pastor used this question from the Heidelberg Cathecheism today in church. It is so rich. I haven't been writing much this summer, but I thought this would be a great place to begin again. My plan is to take phrases from this question (and hopefully others) and meditate on them on Abundant Redemption. I would love for you to contribute your thoughts as well. I'll get started tomorrow (or late tonight). Hopefully you'll join me.

One of my greatest comforts in scripture is Romans 8:28. I believe this verse with all my heart and that's why it is such a comfort to me. It has put my fears into perspective time and time again. It's written on my heart and I quote it to myself when I'm fearful. I'm looking forward to reading your meditations and the comments of other readers. - Love, Mom
