Our Catechism often uses the plural when it speaks about our Lord Jesus Christ and about the benefits He obtained for us. But the answers I quoted from Lord's Day 1, seven and twentythree are in the singular. The catechism teaches us to speak personally. For faith and experience are personal. Faith is first and experience follows.
Christian experience is experience of faith.
Faith and experience are never individualistic. We live in a communion of saints. Nevertheless, faith and expe rience are always personal. God goes His own way with every child of His within the assembly of His people. Your and my way is different from Luther's or Calvin's for that matter.
