Sorry for the late posting but tonight we will be examining the Westminster Catechism questions #11-15. I’m looking forward discussing these great scriptural truths with out middle and high school students.
Q. 11. What is God’s providence?
A. God’s providence is His completely holy, wise, and powerful preserving and governing every
creature and every action. (Ps 145:17; Ps 104:24; Isa 28:29; Heb 1:3; Ps 103:19; Mt 10:29,30,31)
Q. 12. What did God’s providence specifically do for man whom He created?
A. After the creation God made a covenant with man to give him life, if he perfectly obeyed; God told him not to eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil or he would die.
(Gal 3:12; Ge 2:17)
Q. 13. Did our first parents remain as they were created?
A. Left to the freedom of their own wills, our first parents sinned against God and fell from their
original condition. (Ge 3:6,7,8,13; Ecc 7:29)
Q. 14. What is sin?
A. Sin is disobeying or not conforming to God’s law in any way. (1 Jn 3:4)
Q. 15. By what sin did our first parents fall from their original condition?
A. Our first parents’ sin was eating the forbidden fruit.
(Ge 3:6,12)
