I chose the title for this series for two reasons: 1) Since I began pastoral ministry in 1987 it is one of the questions I have received most often; 2) it is Question 22 in the Heidelberg Catechism. For a some Modern Christians, the only thing that one really needs to believe in is belief. They put their faith in the quality of their faith. For others, what matters is that they walked the aisle during an altar call or after a revival. For others the question is not what must a Christian believe but in whom? The answer, of course, is Jesus. Superficially, that sounds pious but the moment we ask and answer that question we have to ask and answer others: who is Jesus and what did he do? Why should we believe in him and where is he now? So, the question, what must a Christian believe is an unavoidable question. In this series we will answer this vital question from the Scriptures, which we are going to read with the ancient Christian church, with the church in all times and places, and with the Reformed churches.
