Chapter 4

1405. Is not God's name holy?

2Doubtless it is holy in itself. Holy is his name. Luke i. 49 .

3406. How, then, can it yet be hallowed?

4It may be hallowed in men; that is, his eternal holiness may be manifested in them.

5407. How?

6First, when we, having in our thoughts and heart the name of God, so live as his holiness requires, and thus glorify God; secondly, when others also, seeing our good lives, glorify God.

7Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Matt. v. 16 .
