LORD'S DAY 6 Question 16: Why must he be very man, and also perfectly righteous? Answer: Because the justice of God requires that the same human nature which hath sinned, should likewise make satisfaction for sin;1 and one, who is himself a sinner, cannot satisfy for others.2 Question 17: Why must He in one person be also very God? Answer: That He might by the power of His Godhead sustain in His human nature the burden of God's wrath;3 and might obtain for, and restore to us, righteousness and life.4 Question 18: Who then is that Mediator, who is in one person both very God, and a real righteous man?
