Heidelberg Catechism, Question 1:
Q. What is Thy only comfort in life and death?
A. That I, with body and soul, both in life and death, am not my own, but belong unto my faithful Savior, Jesus Christ; who, with his precious blood, hath fully satisfied for all my sins, and delivered me from all the power of the devil, and so preserves me that without the will of my Heavenly Father, not a hair can fall from my head; yea, that all things must be subservient to my salvation; and therefore by his Holy Spirit, he also assures me of eternal life; and makes me sincerely willing and ready henceforth to live unto him.
