Q.108. What does the second commandment require?

A. The second commandment requires us to receive, respectfully perform, and preserve completely and purely all the regulations for religion and worship that God has established in his word.[1] These include: prayer and thanksgiving in the name of Christ;[2] the reading, preaching, and hearing of the word;[3] the administration of and receiving the sacraments;[4] church government and discipline;[5] the administration and upkeep of the church;[6] religious fasting;[7] swearing by the name of God;[8] and making vows to him.[9] Also included are disapproving, denouncing, and opposing The Larger Catechism false worship[10] and doing our best, in accordance with our position and calling in life, to eliminate it and all forms of idolatry.[11]
