The Reformed Confessions - Tried and Proved Faith

A video published by Christian Sermons and Audio Books on March 5th, 2026

A. A. Hodge in the introduction to his excellent book: "The Westminster Confession: A Commentary" (available here: https://a.co/d/00OPkZv5 ), wrote these stirring and true words: "While, however, the Scriptures are from God, the understanding of them belongs to the part of men. Men must interpret to the best of their ability each particular part of Scripture separately, and then combine all that the Scriptures teach upon every subject into a consistent whole, and then adjust their teachings upon different subjects in mutual consistency as parts of a harmonius system. Every student of the Bible must do this; and all make it obvious that they do it, by the terms they use in their prayers and religious discourse, whether they admit or deny the propriety of human creeds and confessions. If they refuse the assistance afforded by the statements of doctrine slowly elaborated and defined by the Church, they must make out their own creed by their own unaided wisdom. The real question is not, as often pretended, between the Word of God and the creed of man, but between the tried and proved faith of the collective body of God’s people, and the private judgment and the unassisted wisdom of the repudiator of creeds." For those who say "no book but the bible," and/or "no creed but Christ," today's program is for you!
