《比利时信条》第二十条 论神在基督里的公义与慈爱

　　 我们相信完全慈爱与公义的神差遣祂的儿子取了我们行悖逆的人性 1，为了在人性中完成救赎；并以极其痛苦和死亡2的方式来担当罪的惩罚。当神将我们的罪孽加在其爱子身上的时候3，祂因此就在他儿子身上彰显了公义，同时也将祂的良善与慈爱倾倒在我们这些有罪和配受咒诅的人身上。出于完全的爱，祂赐下独生子替我们而死，神又叫祂复活，为使我们得称为义4，我们可以藉着祂获得不朽和永生。

　　 1.罗8:3.　 
　　 2.来2:14.
　　 3.罗3:25-26; 罗8:32.
　　 4.罗4:25.

　　We believe that God, who is perfectly merciful and just, sent His Son to assume that nature in which disobedience had been committed, to make satisfaction in that same nature; and to bear the punishment of sin by His most bitter passion and death. God therefore manifested His justice against His Son when He laid our iniquity on Him, and poured out His goodness and mercy on us, who were guilty and worthy of damnation. Out of a most perfect love He gave His Son to die for us and He raised Him for our justification that through Him we might obtain immortality and life eternal.
