2. We need to understand what it is in true religion we are to boldly profess.‘It is not every lesser truth much less every opinion of your own in which you are confident that you are wiser than your brethren'
(Romans 14v22; 2 Timothy 2v14).
It is the chief matters: the being and perfections of God himself, his love to man and power over him and man’s subjection and obligations to God; the person and office and work, the benefits of our Redeemer, with all the duty that we owe him and all the hopes we have in him. It is the joy of the saints, the hatred of sin and the misery of the wicked.
'These and such as these are things that we are called to profess; yet so as not to deny or renounce the smallest truth.’
Notes from Part 3: Chapter 4, ( p 563)
