#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.
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.
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.
