About This Book

An abridged question-and-answer exposition of a Lutheran catechism, translated into plain English for young readers, offers clear explanations of the Ten Commandments, the three articles of the Creed (creation, redemption, sanctification), and the Lord's Prayer. Each brief question prompts a concise answer that interprets theological phrases, links doctrine to everyday duties, and emphasizes fearing, loving, and trusting God, repentance and forgiveness, and right conduct. Scripture quotations are used to support the explanations, and the translator prioritizes simplicity and devotional clarity while preserving the catechetical teaching structure.

50. How do we use the name of God properly?

When we sincerely call upon the name of God in every time of need, and worship Him with prayer, praise, and thanksgiving.

 

THE THIRD COMMANDMENT.

Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy.

That is,

We should fear and love God, and not despise or neglect His Word, but deem it holy and gladly hear and learn it.
