I Believe--Of the Law of God
Posted on: 05/07/2012 20:21
Hi All,
Man do I suck at keeping a blog or what?
I'm gearing up to start the NCD Cycle (more on that in future blogs) and thought that the best way to develop my blogging habit would be to finish my blogs on the individual Articles of Faith.

I Believe--Of Justification and Sonship
Posted on: 04/16/2007 10:11
Article XI. Of Justification and Sonship....2.11 Article XI. Of Justification and Sonship.
We believe that God, on the sole ground of the perfect obedience and sacrifice of Christ, pardons those who by faith receive Him as their Saviour and Lord, accepts them as righteous, and bestows upon them the adoption of sons, with a right to all privileges therein implied, including a conscious assurance of their sonship.
As before.

2.10 Article X. Of Faith and Repentance....2.10 Article X. Of Faith and Repentance.
We believe that faith in Christ is a saving grace whereby we receive Him, trust in Him, and rest upon Him alone for salvation as He is offered to us in the Gospel, and that this saving faith is always accompanied by repentance, wherein we confess and forsake our sins with full purpose of and endeavor after a new obedience to God.
Time to unpack.

[quote=Article 2.9]
2.9 Article IX. Of Regeneration....2.9 Article IX. Of Regeneration.
We believe in the necessity of regeneration, whereby we are made new creatures in Christ Jesus by the Spirit of God, who imparts spiritual life by the gracious and mysterious operation of His power, using as the ordinary means the truths of His word and the ordinances of divine appointment in ways agreeable to the nature of man.

[quote=Article 2.6]
2.6 Article VI. Of the Grace of God....2.6 Article VI. Of the Grace of God.
We believe that God, out of His great love for the world, has given His only begotten Son to be the Saviour of sinners, and in the Gospel freely offers His all-sufficient salvation to all men. We believe also that God, in His own good pleasure, gave to his son a people, an innumerable multitude, chosen in Christ unto holiness, service, and salvation.
