- In two things: the dying of the old man, and the quickening of the new.
89. What is the dying of the old man?
- Heartfelt sorrow for sin; causing us to hate and turn from it always more and more.
90. What is the quickening of the new man?
- Heartfelt joy in God; causing us to take delight in living according to the will of God in all good works.
91. But what are good works?
