- 19 What is the misery of that estate whereinto man fell?
- All mankind by their fall lost communion with God, are under his wrath and curse, and so made liable to all the miseries of this life, to death itself, and to the pains of hell forever.
- 20 Did God leave all mankind to perish in the estate of sin and misery?
- 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 Who is the Redeemer of God’s elect?
- The only Redeemer of Gods’ 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.
