### 33. Q. Why is he called God’s “only begotten Son” when we also are God’s children?
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**A**. Because Christ alone is the eternal, natural Son of God.<sup>1</sup> We, however, are adopted children of God—adopted by grace for the sake of Christ.<sup>2</sup>

### 34. Q. Why do you call him “our Lord”?
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**A**. Because—not with gold or silver, but with his precious blood<sup>1</sup>—he has delivered and purchased us body and soul from sin and from the tyranny of the devil,<sup>2</sup> to be his very own.<sup>3</sup>
