Welcome to Our Weekly Standards, a podcast of Heritage Presbyterian Church in New Braunfels, Texas. This podcast is designed to aid your study and memorization of the Reformed catechisms and confessions, and deepen your knowledge, build your faith, and increase your zeal in your walk with God. Our catechism question of the week is from Westminster Shorter Catechism, question and answer number 40. What did God at first reveal to man for the rule of his obedience? Answer, the rule which God at first revealed to man for his obedience was the moral law. Our Bible memorization verse of the week comes from Romans 2 verses 13 through 15. For not the hearers of the law are just in the sight of God, but the doers of the law will be justified. For when Gentiles who do not have the law by nature do the things in the law, these, although not having the law, are a law to themselves, who show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and between themselves their thoughts accusing or else excusing them. We find the truth of this catechism answer elsewhere in scripture in the following verses. Romans 10, verse 5. For Moses writes about the righteousness which is of the law, the man who does those things shall live by them. Well, amen. Praise God for these truths from his word. Join me again next time as we continue our weekly standards. Have a great day.
