# Lord's Day 1: Introduction

### 1: Who is the first and chiefest being? 

God is the first and chiefest being.

_(Is. 44:6; 48:12; Ps. 97:9)_

### 2: Ought every one to believe there is a God? 

Everyone ought to believe there is a God; and it is their great sin and folly who do not.

_(Heb. 11:6; Ps. 14:1)_

### 3: How may we know there is a God? 

The light of nature in man and the works of God plainly declare there is a God; but his Word and Spirit only, do it fully and effectually, for the salvation of sinners.

_(Rom. 1:19,20; Ps. 19:1, 2, 3; Acts 17:24; 1 Cor. 2:10; 2 Tim. 3:15,16)_
