New City Catechism 2025

A catechism is a fancy word for a set of questions and answers about Bible doctrines. It is a simple, effective way to teach our children (and adults) the BIG truths of the gospel. Join us in 2025 as we jump into these questions and find out the truth that awaits us! 

Week 25: June 23-29

Question 25: Does Christ’s death mean all our sins can be forgiven? Yes, because Christ’s death on the cross fully paid the penalty for our sin, God will remember our sins no more.

 

2 Corinthians 5:21

For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

 

For the Parent’s Heart:

  • Meditate on Psalm 103.
  • List all the benefits that you receive from God according to Psalm 103.
  • How does knowing the truth about the imputed righteousness of Jesus free you from shame and guilt?

Ask Your Children:

  • Do you like to be reminded about times when you’ve done something wrong
  • Do you know what God says about our sins when we are forgiven? How far away is the east from the west?
  • What if you knew someone who got a perfect grade on every test in school? Would you trust that person to answer a question? Jesus does something even better. When we trust in Him, He gives us His perfect record of obedience so that we can be reconciled to God.

Reminders:

  • Be sure to check out the playlists below or in the app for helpful songs that your family can listen to for help memorizing these questions and answers.
  • How can you incorporate this question into your normal daily routine? Post it on a mirror in the bathroom, in the kitchen, or in the car where everyone can see it.
  • Bedtime is a great opportunity to review this question and have discussions about it. If you have trouble remembering, set a reminder on your phone or ask your child to remind you to review this week’s question.
