The Heidelberg: Lord’s Day 33

Q. 88. What is involved
in genuine repentance or conversion?
A. Two things:
the dying-away of the old self,
and the coming-to-life of the new.
Q. 89. What is the dying-away of the old self?
A. It is to be genuinely sorry for sin,
to hate it more and more,
and to run away from it.
Q. 90. What is the coming-to-life of the new self?
A. It is wholehearted joy in God through Christ
and a delight to do every kind of good
as God wants us to.
Q. 91. What do we do that is good?
A. Only that which
arises out of true faith,
conforms to God’s law,
and is done for his glory;
and not that which is based
on what we think is right
or on established human tradition.
