I want to embark on a journey going through the Westminster Confession of Faith that were established in 1647. Each day I plan to post a chapter to meditate on and review the truths that are stated in them.
The importance of this confession are noted by B.B. Warfield in this quote; "As truly as in the cases of the Nicene and Chalcedonian formularies, the Westminster Standards mark an epoch in the history of human reflection on the truths of the gospel—an epoch in the attainment and registry of doctrinal truth; and as truly in the one case as in the other the statements they give of the truths that fall in their sphere are scientifically final. All attempts at restatement must either repeat their definitions or fall away from the purity of their conceptions or the justness of their language."—Benjamin B. Warfield, "The Significance of the Westminster Standards as a Creed," (1897).
I look forward to the days ahead in looking at the Westminster Confession in a day by day adventure. This document is thoroughly Biblical, and thoroughly Calvinistic.
