Heidelberg Catechism · Lord's Day 16
44. Why is there added: He descended into hell?
Answer
That in my greatest temptations I may be assured and wholly comfort myself that my Lord Jesus Christ, by his inexpressible anguish, pains, terrors, and hellish agonies in which he was plunged during all his sufferings but especially on the cross, has delivered me from the anguish and torments of hell.
