33. Q.

Why is he called God's only-begotten Son,
since we also are children of God?
A.
Because Christ alone
is the eternal, natural Son of God. 1
We, however, are children of God by adoption,
through grace, for Christ's sake. 2

34. Q.

Why do you call him our Lord?
A.
Because he has ransomed us,
body and soul, 1
from all our sins,
not with silver or gold
but with his precious blood, 2
and has freed us
from all the power of the devil
to make us his own possession. 3
