 #20 Question: Did God leave all mankind to perish in the estate of sin and misery?

Answer: God having, out of his mere good pleasure, from all eternity, elected some to everlasting life, did enter into a covenant of grace, to deliver them out of the estate of sin and misery, and to bring them into an estate of salvation by a Redeemer

#21 Question: Who is the Redeemer of God’s elect?

        Answer: The only Redeemer of God’s elect is The Lord Jesus Christ, who,  being the eternal Son of God, became man, and so was, and continueth to be, God and man in two distinct natures, and one person forever.

 #22 Question: How did Christ, being the Son of God, become man?

         Answer: Christ, the Son of God, became man by taking to himself a true body and a reasonable soul, being conceived by the power of the Holy Ghost in the womb of the virgin Mary, and born of her, yet without sin.
