In essence the Confession is summarizing here what was more explicitly stated in chapter VII in its discussion of God's covenant: "There are not therefore two covenants of grace, differing in substance, but one and the same, under various dispensations." The basis of man's salvation was, is, and always shall be Jesus Christ, the only name given under heaven by which we must be saved.
