Section 12: Lord’s Day 12

Why is he called Christ, that is, anointed?

Because he is ordained of God the Father, and anointed with the Holy Ghost,^a to be our chief Prophet and teacher; who has fully revealed to us the secret counsel and will of God concerning our redemption;^b and to be our only High Priest,^c who by the one sacrifice of his body, has redeemed us, and makes continual intercession with the Father for us;^d and also to be our eternal King,^e who governs us by his word and spirit; and who defends and preserves us in (the enjoyment of) that salvation, he has purchased for us.^f

But why art thou called a Christian?

Because I am a member of Christ by faith,^a and thus am partaker of his anointing;^b that so I may confess his name^c and present myself a living sacrifice of thankfulness to him:^d and also that with a free and good conscience I may fight against sin and Satan, in this life:^e and afterwards reign with him eternally, over all creatures.^f
