Excerpt:
XI. Redemption. (In contract with atonement.)

Atonement is the ground and means of redemption, while redemption is the result of atonement. Redemption consists of two parts, the one legal, the other moral. The work of Christ meets the demands of the law and man is justified. The work of the Spirit renews the depraved nature and reforms the sinner in the divine image, and man is sanctified.

B. THE PERSON OF THE REDEEMER.

I. He is truly God.

(See texts on The Trinity.)

II. He is truly man.

His human nature the same as that of other men, because He is of the stock of Abraham.
