2 Tim. 2;12.—If we suffer, we shall also reign with him.—Rev. 3;21.—Rev. 2;10.
13. LORD’S DAY.
33. Why is Christ called the only begotten Son of God, since we are also the children of God?
Because Christ alone is the eternal (John 1;1), and natural Son of God (Heb. 1;2, 3); but we are children adopted of God, by grace, for his sake (Gal. 3;26).
John 1;1.—In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God.—Heb. 1;8.—John 17;5.—1 John 1;1-3.—John 8;58.—Col. 2;9.
Heb. 1;2, 3.—God hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds.—John 5;18.—John 3;16.—Rom. 8;32.—1 John 5;20.—John 1;14.—John 5;26.—Col. 1;15.
Gal. 3;26.—For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.—John 1;12.—Eph. 1;3-6.—Rom. 8;14, 15.—1 John 3;1.—Rom. 8;17.
34. Wherefore callest thou him, Our Lord?
Because he has redeemed us, both soul and body, from all our sins (1 Cor. 6;20); not with gold or silver, but with his precious blood (Col. 1;14); and has delivered us from all the power of the devil, and thus made us his own property (Heb. 2;14, 15).
1 Cor. 6;20.—For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.—Titus 2;14.—Gal. 4;4, 5.—Mark 10;45.
Col. 1;14.—In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins.—1
