Lord's Day 5: Lord's Day 5 (12-15) MP3: 

12. Since, then, by the righteous judgment of God we deserve temporal and eternal punishment, how may we escape this punishment and be again received into favor?   God wills that His justice be satisfied; therefore, we must make full satisfaction to that justice, either by ourselves or by another. 
 13. Can we ourselves make this satisfaction?  Certainly not; on the contrary, we daily increase our guilt. 
 14. Can any mere creature make satisfaction for us?  None; for first, God will not punish any other creature for the sin which man committed; and further, no mere creature can sustain the burden of God's eternal wrath against sin and redeem others from it. 
 15. What kind of mediator and redeemer, then, must we seek?  One who is a true and righteous man, and yet more powerful than all creatures, that is, one who is also true God.
