Q.45. How is Christ a king?

A. As king, Christ calls a people for himself out of the world[1] and gives them officers,[2] laws,[3] and the authority to condemn, by which he visibly governs them.[4] He bestows saving grace on his elect,[5] rewards their obedience,[6] corrects them for their sins,[7] preserves and supports them in all their temptations and suffering,[8] restrains and overcomes all their enemies,[9] and powerfully orders everything for his own glory[10] and their well-being.[11] As king, Christ also executes just retribution against all others who neither know God nor obey the gospel.[12]
