Day 64: Westminster: The Duty of Man to God

The Larger Catechism divides the Christian religion into two sections:
  • What Man Ought to Believe Concerning God (theology)
  • Having seen what the Scriptures principally teach us to believe concerning God, it follows to consider what they require as the Duty of Man.

We have already considered the first approach.

Under this perspective, we look for ways that God wants to challenge us, change us, and use us to change the world.

We look for our DUTY, not just theological DOCTRINE.
