Heidelberg Catechism: Lord's Day 13

Q: 33. Why is Christ called the "only begotten Son" of God, since we are also the children of God?
A: Because Christ alone is the eternal and natural Son of God; but we are children adopted of God, by grace, for his sake.

Q: 34. Why do you call him "our Lord"?
A: Because he hath redeemed us, both soul and body, from all our sins, not with silver or gold, but with his precious blood, and has delivered us from all the power of the devil; and thus has made us his own property.

Let the saints be joyful in glory, let them sing aloud on their beds, let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two edged sword in their hand, to execute vengeance on the nations, and punishments on the peoples; to bind the kings with chains and their nobles with fetters of iron. Psalm 149:5-8
