“The
Son of God, the second person of the Trinity, being very and eternal God, of
one substance and equal with the Father, did, when the fullness of time was
come, take upon Him man's nature, with all the essential properties, and common infirmities
thereof, yet without sin; being conceived by the power of the Holy Ghost, in
the womb of the virgin Mary, of her substance. So that two whole, perfect, and
distinct natures, the Godhead and the manhood, were inseparably joined together
in one person, without conversion, composition, or confusion. Which person is
very God, and very man, yet one Christ, the only Mediator between God and man."
Chapter VIII, Section 2, “Of Christ the Mediator” Westminster Confession of Faith (1647)
