- What does the word ”Redeemer” mean? What does Christ redeem us from? What and who does he redeem us to?
- Who is Jesus? (Think person)
- What is Jesus? (Think nature)
- Why is it important to say that the divine and human natures of Christ are not mixed so as to become a third thing?
- Why is it important to say that human nature and divine nature are inseparably joined in the person of the Son? (There are many reasons. One of them can be brought out by the question, did Jesus suffer from a multiple personality disorder?)
- What does the second part of the answer to Baptist Catechism 24 have to do with the first? In other words, what do the natures and person of Christ have to do with the fact that he is the only Redeemer of God’s elect?
- Why does our catechism say that Christ is the only Redeemer of God’s elect? What is meant by elect? For whom did Christ die? Who did he come to save? By the way, your interpretation of John 3:16 had better agree with John 6:25ff., John 10:7-18; and John 17. The is no contradiction between the statement of John 3:16 and the fact that Christ came to lay down his life for the elect.
