The 1689 London Confession is a classic work on the historic belief system of Biblical Christianity. It was written, actually, in 1677. It was adopted in 1689, hence the name. Charles Spurgeon reissued the Confession at his church in 1855 to strengthen the doctrinal foundations of his church. In the coming weeks, I’ll be walking through this confession and looking at each of the sections it contains. I’ll be taking each of the sections, condensing it a bit, and making a few comments.
I believe that in walking through this classic document, we can better understand some of the core doctrines of Christianity, how we approach Scripture, and be drawn into a deeper love for God and all that He has done for us.

My hope is that this will bless and encourage you in your walk with our Lord and Savior. “And it is my prayer that your love may abound more and more, with knowledge and all discernment, so that you may approve what is excellent, and so be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.” (Philippians 1:9-11)

Check back every few days for the next chapter in the Confession. The first section on "The Holy Scriptures" will be up tomorrow.
