A Brief and Untechnical Statement of the Reformed Faith by Benjamin Breckinridge Warfield
1. I believe that my one aim in life and death should be to glorify
God and enjoy him forever; and that God teaches me how to glorify him in
his holy Word, that is, the Bible, which he had given by the infallible
inspiration of this Holy Spirit in order that I may certainly know what
I am to believe concerning him and what duty he requires of me.
2. I believe that God is a Spirit, infinite, eternal and incomparable
in all that he is; one God but three persons, the Father, the Son, and
the Holy Ghost, my Creator, my Redeemer, and my Sanctifier; in whose
power and wisdom, righteousness, goodness and truth I may safely put my
trust.
3. I believe that the heavens and the earth, and all that in them is,
are the work of God’s hands; and that all that he has made he directs
and governs in all their actions; so that they fulfill the end for which
they were created, and I who trust in him shall not be put to shame but
may rest securely in the protection of his almighty love.
4. I believe that God created man after his own image, in knowledge,
righteousness and holiness, and entered into a covenant of life with him
upon the sole condition of the obedience that was his due: so that it
was by willfully sinning against God that man fell into the sin and
misery in which I have been born. Keep Reading...
