Belonging to God in Life and Death

The podcast episode explores the first question of the New City Catechism: 'What is our only hope in life and death?' The answer is that we are not our own, but belong to God and Jesus Christ. Belonging to God means our whole being, both body and soul, is His. This belonging goes beyond physical or earthly relationships, as shown in marriage or baptism. It means that nothing can separate us from God's love and care, even in the face of sin and suffering. Belonging to God brings comfort and hope, as we believe in a future that is brighter than today, transcending death. This belonging also shapes us to be a countercultural people, impacting how we love and serve others selflessly.
