The 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith Of God's Decree Chapter 3 PARAGRAPH 6 As God hath appointed the elect unto glory, so He hath, by the eternal and most free purpose of His will, foreordained all the means thereunto;13 wherefore they who are elected, being fallen in Adam, are redeemed by Christ,14 are effectually called unto faith in Christ, by His Spirit working in due season, are justified, adopted, sanctified,15 and kept by His power through faith unto salvation;16 neither are any other redeemed by Christ, or effectually called, justified, adopted, sanctified, and saved, but the elect only.17 13 1 Pet. 1:2; 2 Thess. 2:13 14 1 Thess. 5:9–10 15 Rom. 8:30; 2 Thess. 2:13 16 1 Pet. 1:5 17 John 10:26, 17:9, 6:64 Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings A glorious garment But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his fee. Luke 15 v 22 As long as you live in your mortal body, you will be faulty in yourself. It is a soul ruining error to believe anything else. O if ye would be wise, be often looking beneath the robe of the Redeemer's righteousness to see your own deformity. It will make you keep faster hold of His robe, and keep you washing in the fountain. Now, when Christ brings you before the throne of God, He will clothe you with His own fine linen, and present you faultless. O it is sweet to me to think how soon you shall be the righteousness of God in Him. What a glorious righteousness that can stand that light of God's face! Sometimes a garment appears white in dim light; when you bring it into sunshine you see the spots. O prize, then, this Divine righteousness, which is your covering.
