Question 54
What do you believe concerning the holy catholic Christian church?
I believe that the Son of God,1 out of the whole human race,2 from the beginning of the world to its end,3 gathers, defends, and preserves for Himself, 4 by His Spirit and Word,5 in the unity of the true faith,6 a church chosen to everlasting life.7 And I believe that I am8 and forever shall remain a living member of it.9
