The Westminster Confession: 1:1 Although the light of nature and the works of creation and providence
do so far manifest the goodness, wisdom, and power of God, as to leave men unexcusable (Psa 19:1-3; Rom 1:19,
20, 32; Rom 2:1, 14, 15); yet they are not sufficient to give that knowledge of God and of His will, which is
necessary unto salvation (1 Cor 1:21; 2:13, 14). Therefore it pleased the Lord, at sundry times, and in diverse
manners, to reveal Himself, and to declare that His will unto His Church (Heb 1:1); and afterwards, for the
better preserving and propagating of the truth, and for the more sure establishment and comfort of the
Church against the corruption of the flesh, and the malice of Satan and of the world, to commit the same wholly
unto writing (Prov 22:19-21; Isa 8:19, 20; Matt 4:4, 7, 10; Luke 1:3, 4; Rom 15:4); which maketh the Holy
Scripture to be most necessary(2 Tim 3:15; 2 Pet 1:19); those former ways of God’s revealing His will unto
His people being now ceased (Heb 1:1, 2)
Larger Catechism Question40: Why was it requisite that the Mediator should be God and man in one person?
Answer: It was requisite that the Mediator, who was to reconcile God and man, should himself be both God and
man, and this in one person, that the proper works of each nature might be accepted of God for us, and relied
on by us, as the works of the whole person.
Question 41: Why was our Mediator called Jesus?
Answer: Our Mediator was called Jesus, because he saves his people from their sins.
