A.In the Bible alone.

What does this answer mean?

We learn how to love and obey God in the Bible alone. Other good books, parents and teachers help, but the Bible is the only place God's own instructions are written for us. This answer prepares a child for the Shorter Catechism's second question.

What can we ask our children?

  1. Where do you learn how to love and obey God?
  2. Who gives us the Bible?
  3. What is your favorite story in the Bible?
