Questions 39-80: Calling, justification, and growth in grace

#Overview

This cluster is the gospel-shaping center of the Larger Catechism and should read like a guided doctrinal path rather than one long page.

The catechism's treatment of effectual calling, justification, adoption, sanctification, faith, and repentance.

#Application of redemption

This cluster follows the Spirit's application of Christ's benefits into justification, adoption, sanctification, and growth in grace.

#Study path

The Larger Catechism is organized here as a guided route through doctrine, application, and practical obedience. The cluster pages are intentionally bite-sized so learners can move in stages ¹.
