Loading verse text…

• #BC3 How may we know there is a God? The light of nature in man and the works of God plainly declare there is a God; but his word and Spirit only do it fully and effectually for the salvation of sinners.
• #BC4 What is the word of God? The holy scriptures of the Old and New Testament are the word of God, and the only certain rule of faith and obedience.
• #HC98 But may images not be tolerated in the churches as “books for the laity”? No, for we should not be wiser than God. He wants His people to be taught not by means of dumb images but by the living preaching of His Word.
• #AOC112 But may not Images be tolerated in Churches, which may serve for Books unto the common People? No, for ’tis not seemly that we should be wiser then God, who will have his Church to be taught by the lively preaching of his Word, and not with dumb Images.
