Baltimore Catechism Lesson 18 Quiz

What is contrition or sorrow for sin? [blank_start]Contrition or sorrow for sin[blank_end] [blank_start]is a hatred of sin[blank_end] [blank_start]and a true grief of the[blank_end] [blank_start]soul for having offended[blank_end] [blank_start]God[blank_end], [blank_start]with a firm purpose[blank_end] [blank_start]of sinning no more[blank_end].

What kind of sorrow should we have for our sins? [blank_start]The sorrow we[blank_end] [blank_start]should have for[blank_end] [blank_start]our sins should be interior[blank_end], [blank_start]supernatural[blank_end], [blank_start]universal[blank_end], [blank_start]and sovereign[blank_end].

What do you mean by saying that our sorrow should be interior? [blank_start]When I say[blank_end] [blank_start]that our sorrow[blank_end] [blank_start]should be interior[blank_end], [blank_start]I mean that it[blank_end] [blank_start]should come from[blank_end] [blank_start]the heart[blank_end], [blank_start]and not merely from[blank_end] [blank_start]the lips[blank_end].

What do you mean by saying that our sorrow should be supernatural? [blank_start]When I say[blank_end] [blank_start]that our sorrow should[blank_end] [blank_start]be supernatural[blank_end], [blank_start]I mean that it[blank_end] [blank_start]should be prompted[blank_end] [blank_start]by the grace[blank_end] [blank_start]of God[blank_end], [blank_start]and excited by[blank_end] [blank_start]motives which spring[blank_end] [blank_start]from faith[blank_end], [blank_start]and not by[blank_end] [blank_start]merely natural motives[blank_end]

What do you mean by saying that our sorrow should be universal? [blank_start]When I say[blank_end] [blank_start]that our sorrow[blank_end] [blank_start]should be universal[blank_end], [blank_start]I mean that we[blank_end] [blank_start]should be sorry[blank_end] [blank_start]for our mortal sins[blank_end] [blank_start]without exception[blank_end].

What do you mean when you say that our sorrow should be sovereign? [blank_start]When I say[blank_end] [blank_start]that our sorrow[blank_end] [blank_start]should be sovereign[blank_end] [blank_start]I mean that we should[blank_end] [blank_start]grieve more for[blank_end] [blank_start]having offended[blank_end] [blank_start]God than for[blank_end] [blank_start]any other evil[blank_end] [blank_start]that can befall us[blank_end].

Why should we be sorry for our sins? [blank_start]We should be sorry[blank_end] [blank_start]for our sins[blank_end], [blank_start]because sin is the[blank_end] [blank_start]greatest of evils and an[blank_end] [blank_start]offense against God our[blank_end] [blank_start]Creator[blank_end], [blank_start]Preserver[blank_end], [blank_start]and Redeemer[blank_end], [blank_start]and because it shuts[blank_end] [blank_start]us out of Heaven and[blank_end] [blank_start]condemns us to the eternal[blank_end] [blank_start]pains of Hell[blank_end]

How many kinds of contrition are there? [blank_start]There are two[blank_end] [blank_start]kinds of contrition[blank_end]: [blank_start]perfect contrition[blank_end] [blank_start]and[blank_end] [blank_start]imperfect contrition[blank_end].

What is perfect contrition? [blank_start]Perfect contrition[blank_end] [blank_start]is that which[blank_end] [blank_start]fills us with[blank_end] [blank_start]sorrow and hatred[blank_end] [blank_start]for sin because it[blank_end] [blank_start]offends God, who is[blank_end] [blank_start]infinitely good in Himself and[blank_end] [blank_start]worthy of all love[blank_end].

What is imperfect contrition? [blank_start]Imperfect contrition[blank_end] [blank_start]is that by which[blank_end] [blank_start]we hate what[blank_end] [blank_start]offends God[blank_end] [blank_start]because by it[blank_end] [blank_start]we lose[blank_end] [blank_start]Heaven and deserve[blank_end] [blank_start]Hell[blank_end]; [blank_start]or because sin[blank_end] [blank_start]is so hateful[blank_end] [blank_start]in itself[blank_end].

Is imperfect contrition sufficient for a worthy confession? [blank_start]Imperfect contrition[blank_end] [blank_start]is sufficient for[blank_end] [blank_start]a worthy confession[blank_end], [blank_start]but we should endeavor[blank_end] [blank_start]to have perfect contrition[blank_end].

What do you mean by a firm purpose of sinning no more? [blank_start]By a firm purpose[blank_end] [blank_start]of sinning no[blank_end] [blank_start]more I mean[blank_end] [blank_start]a fixed resolve not only[blank_end] [blank_start]to avoid all[blank_end] [blank_start]mortal sin, but also[blank_end] [blank_start]its near occasions[blank_end].

What do you mean by the near occasions of sin? [blank_start]By the near[blank_end] [blank_start]occasions of sin[blank_end] [blank_start]I mean all the[blank_end] [blank_start]persons, places and things[blank_end] [blank_start]that may easily lead[blank_end] [blank_start]us into sin[blank_end].
