A. 1. Death, for the breach of the Law; and that Christ tasted, in his bitter Sufferings, both of Body and Soul, by being made Sin, and so abolishing Sin: and this is called his Passive Obedience. Heb. 2.9. Eph. 1.7. 2 Cor. 5.21. Gal. 3.13.
2. Perfect Obedience in fulfilling the Law perfectly, both in his Nature and Actions, for the procuring and meriting of life: and this is called his Active Obedience. Heb. 7.26.
Q. What follows Christ's Humiliation?
A. His Exaltation which is his glorious Victory, and open Triumph over all his and our Enemies, Sin, Satan, and Death, in the several Degrees of it.
