Q195
How did Jesus Christ obtain salvation, since the Creed says that he “was incarnate for our salvation?”
The Lord Jesus came, as the angel had announced, to “save his people from their sins” (Mat 1:21; see Q083, Q130); for God’s purpose was “through him to reconcile all things to himself, both earthly and heavenly, having made peace through the blood of his cross” (Col 1:20; see Q012, Q299).
Our Lord Jesus Christ accomplished this work of salvation by his doctrine, by his entire life from the moment of his incarnation, and by his death and resurrection, the whole saving economy, of which no part may be separated from the rest.
