    This week starts season 3 of our podcast as we consider the last part of the Shorter Catechism. In this episode of the podcast, Tommy and Stephen continue their journey through The Shorter Catechism by looking at Question 86 and 87 concerning faith in Jesus and repentance unto life.

    Q. 85. What doth God require of us that we may escape his wrath and curse due to us for sin?

    A. To escape the wrath and curse of God due to us for sin, God requireth of us faith in Jesus Christ, repentance unto life, with the diligent use of all the outward means whereby Christ communicateth to us the benefits of redemption.

    Q. 86. What is faith in Jesus Christ?

    A. Faith in Jesus Christ is a saving grace, whereby we receive and rest upon him alone for salvation, as he is offered to us in the gospel.

    Q. 87. What is repentance unto life?

    A. Repentance unto life is a saving grace, whereby a sinner, out of a true sense of his sin, and apprehension of the mercy of God in Christ, doth, with grief and hatred of his sin, turn from it unto God, with full purpose of, and endeavor after, new obedience.
