Q. 34 What is adoption?A. Adoption is an act of God's free grace, whereby we are received into the number, and have a right to all the privileges of the sons of God.As 1 John 

exhorts us, let us: "Behold what manner of love God has bestowed on us, that we should be called the children of God!" It is a gracious loving thing for a couple to adopt a child. Here is a child that is for some reason without parents to care for him. What a wonderful thing it is for the child to be taken in to a home!

WSC Q35: Sanctification

The idea of imparting a body of truth (rudiments of the faith) is found repeatedly in scripture under many different terms and descriptions. We are not given a complete catechism or confession in the Bible. That is because we are to write our own according to the needs of the day. They must refute new heresies as they arise. Our Lord has called us to catechise in His church… to teach disciples the basics of the faith. Make the most of this instruction: memorise your Catechism, listen to the messages, and pray for the Spirit to work.
