Description

1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith (withproofs)

As described by Charles Haddon Spurgeon

This ancient document is a most excellent epitome of the thingsmost surely believed among us. By the preserving hand of the TriuneJehovah we have been kept faithful to the great points of ourglorious Gospel, and we feel more resolved perpetually to abide bythem.

This little volume is not issued as an authoritative rule, orcode of faith, whereby ye are to be fettered, but as an assistanceto you in controversy, a confirmation in faith, and a means ofedification in righteousness. Here the younger members of ourchurch will have a body of divinity in small compass, and by meansof the scriptural proofs, will be ready to give a reason for thehope that is in them.

Be not ashamed of your faith; remember it is the ancient Gospelof martyrs, confessors, reformers, and saints. Above all, it is theTruth of God against which the gates of hell cannot prevail. Letyour lives adorn your faith, let your example recommend your creed.Above all, live in Christ Jesus, and walk in Him, giving credenceto no teaching but that which is manifestly approved of Him, andowned by the Holy Spirit. Cleave fast to the Word of God, which ishere mapped out to you.

- C. H. Spurgeon
