and flee from it. 1
90. Q.

What is the coming to life
of the new nature?

It is a heartfelt joy
in God through Christ, 1

in all good works. 2
91. Q.

But what are good works?
A.
Only those which are done
out of true faith, 1
in accordance with the law of God, 2

and not those based
on our own opinion
or on precepts of men. 4
