A. To distinguish him from the Idols and false Gods of the Heathens. 1 Thes. 1.9. How ye turned to God from Idols, to serve the living and true God. Acts 14.15. We preach unto you, that ye should turn from these vanities unto the living God, which made heaven and earth, and the sea, and all things that are therein.
Q. 5. Why is he called the living God?
A. Because all life, natural, spiritual, and eternal, is in him, and from him only. First, Natural Life. Acts 17.28. For in him we live, and move, and have our being. Secondly, Spiritual Life. Eph. 2.1. You hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins. Thirdly, Eternal life in glory. Col. 3.4. When Christ who is our life shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.
