Q. 31. But why are you called a Christian? A. Because through faith I am a member of Jesus Christ (a), and partaker of His anointing (b), that both I may confess His name (c), and present myself unto Him a living sacrifice of thankfulness (d), and also may in this life fight against sin and Satan with a free and good conscience (e), and afterwards enjoy an everlasting kingdom with Christ (f). (a) Acts 11:26; 1 Cor. 6:15. (b) 1 John 2:27. (c) Matt. 10:32. (d) Rom. 12:1; Heb. 13:15; 1 Pet. 2:5; Rev. 5:8. (e) Rom. 6:12-13; 1 Tim. 1:18-19. (f) 2 Tim. 2:12; Rev. 1:6.

Q. 32. For what cause is Christ called the only begotten Son of God, when we also are the sons of God? A.

(b) John 1:12; Gal. 4:5; Eph. 1:6; 1 John 1:3.

Q. 33. Why do we call Him our Lord? A.

(a) Rom. 14:9; 1 Cor. 6:20; Eph. 1:7; 1 Tim. 2:5-6; 1 Pet. 1:18.
