1 A Survey Through The Heidelberg Catechism LORD’S DAY #27, part 1

2 God’s relationship with man in the world is through covenant.  The friendship of the Lord is for those who fear him, and he makes known to them his covenant. (Ps. 25:14, ESV)  “I will make my dwelling among them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.” (Lev. 26:12; Jer. 31:1; 32:38; Ezek. 37:27; 2 Cor. 6:16; Rev. 21:3, ESV)

5 Enjoyment of outward/temporal privileges  Means of Grace – Preaching, Sacraments, Prayer  Holy Spirit softens or hardens the heart under the Word.  Sacraments represent the work of the Holy Spirit in the elect but also signify and condemn imposters who participate in the practices.  Holy Spirit delivers the prayers of the elect but hinders efforts of imposters who wish to bargain with God.

Heidelberg Cat. #66 The sacraments are holy, visible signs and seals, appointed of God for this end, that by the use thereof He may the more fully declare and seal to us the promise of the gospel; namely, that He of grace grants us the remission of sins and life eternal, for the sake of the one sacrifice of Christ accomplished on the cross.
