## Lord’s Day 1

### 1. Q. What is your only comfort in life and in death?

**A**. That I am not my own,<sup>1</sup> but belong—body and soul, in life and in death<sup>2</sup>—to my faithful Savior, Jesus Christ.<sup>3</sup>He has fully paid for all my sins with his precious blood,<sup>4</sup> and has delivered me from the tyranny of the devil.<sup>5</sup>. He also watches over me in such a way<sup>6</sup> that not a hair can fall from my head without the will of my Father in heaven;<sup>7</sup> in fact, all things must work together for my salvation.<sup>8</sup>. Because I belong to him, Christ, by his Holy Spirit, also assures me of eternal life<sup>9</sup> and makes me wholeheartedly willing and ready from now on to live for him.<sup>10</sup>
