The Westminster Confession of Faith is hailed as the greatest of all the creeds of the Christian Church. Since its first publication in 1646, it has remained unsurpassed in its accuracy and concise statement of Christian doctrine.
Among all the shifting sands of theological opinion, here lies solid truth, for it is grounded in the unchanging truth of Scripture. This is evidenced by the copious references from the Bible printed on each page. Because of its faithfulness to Scripture, the Confession holds permanent worth and abiding relevance.
The Church of Christ cannot be creedless and endure. Especially in an age of doubt and confusion, it is her duty to define the Christian faith and proclaim it to the world. Nowhere has the Reformed Church done this so effectively as in The Westminster Confession of Faith. While always recognizing the supreme place of the Word of God in all matters of faith and practice, one can always turn to the Confession as a subordinate standard. Here, readers will find spiritual treasure; here too, they will find comfort and strength.
