A Catechism for Girls and Boys

Part I: Questions about God, Man, and Sin

4. Q. How can you glorify God?
    A. By loving him and doing what he commands. 

(Click through to read scriptural proofs.)

The end of the matter; all has been heard. Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man.

Jesus answered, “The most important is, ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. 30 And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ 31 The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”

By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples. As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love. 10 If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in his love.

So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

Scripture quoted from the English Standard Version.

Just once I would like to sit in on a women's Bible study that simply goes through a catechism. Instead of some video series of some well-known woman teacher. Just the catechism. It would be so refreshing to even long-time believers.

Ironically, it's often the things that seem simple that have genuine depth.

And the things that seem deep end up being gobbledygook.
