Heidelberg Q56
Source: Heidelberg Catechism (1563) (Q56 · Lord's Day 21) · catechism
What believest thou concerning the forgiveness of sins?
That God, for the sake of Christ's satisfaction, will no more remember my sins, neither my corrupt nature, against which I have to struggle all my life long; but will graciously impute to me the righteousness of Christ, that I may never be condemned before the tribunal of God.
