"There is something universal in the human soul that tells us that death is not the end for any of us, and we see that Truth explained plainly in the texts of scripture. When the body dies, we wonder at the soul that lives on, as well as the judgment that lies ahead. The Bible teaches of two types of people in the world. Those in Adam, under the covenant of works, are judged according to the law; and those in Christ, under grace, are judged according to the righteousness of the Savior. Those in Adam are guilty and punished in unspeakable torment; those in Christ are counted as righteous and ushered into the glories of Heavenly peace." I. THE INTERMEDIATE STATE (PARA. 1). A. The distinction between the body and soul in the intermediate state. 1. The body. 2. The soul. B. The distinction between the righteous and the wicked in the intermediate state. 1. The condition of the righteous. —Their immediate entrance upon this condition —Their perfect holiness in this condition —Their delightful circumstances in this condition —Their blessed companion in this condition —Their glorious privilege in this condition —Their incomplete blessedness in this condition 2. The condition of the wicked. —Its location —Its circumstances —Its expectation https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/fbcnh/sermons/911221232313360 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 11 Sep 2022 12:00:00 +0000 Peaslee, Adam 0:50:54 no Peaslee, Adam - 1689 London Baptist Confession https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/fbcnh/sermons/828222124516618 1689 CONFESSION, CH. 30, "OF THE LORD'S SUPPER," PARA. 2 — 8 SUMMARY (WALDRON): A close inspection of the [chapter] will indicate that there is a repeated movement from the positive to the negative. It is the Roman Catholic perversions of the Lord's Supper which almost at every point require the writers of the Confession to move from a positive statement of biblical truth to a negative rebuttal of Catholic perversion. Without ascribing any magical significance to it, the Lord's Supper is yet so important a part of the Christian religion that there can be few things more essential to understand than the Lord's Supper. In spite of this, many Christians do not understand it thoroughly enough. I. ITS INSTITUTION (PARA. 1). A. Original Circumstances; B. Prescribed Observation; C.

I. ITS SPIRITUAL SIGNIFICANCE (para. 1). II. ITS PROPER SUBJECTS (para. 2). III. ITS OUTWARD ELEMENTS (para. 3 & 4). Summary: The mode of water baptism by immersion is distinctly "baptist." By better understanding the symbolism of baptism, as well as the examples in scripture, (and the word for baptism itself,) we can grasp more and more fully the powerful imagery of baptism as it relates to our union with Christ as mediator. We share in His death, burial, and resurrection, and we are washed white as snow in His blood, and we see these things in the baptism of believers only, by immersion. A. With the use of water (para. 3a) B. In the name of the trinity (para. 3b) C. By the immersion of the person (para. 4). "Immersion" = baptizo. 1. Its literal use in secular Greek. 2. Its figurative use in secular Greek. 3. Its literal use in the Septuagint. 4. Its figurative use in the Septuagint. 5. Its literal use in the New Testament. 6. Its figurative use in the New Testament is consistent with the idea of immersion. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/fbcnh/sermons/7312212749688 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 31 Jul 2022 12:00:00 +0000 Peaslee, Adam 0:58:49 no Peaslee, Adam - 1689 London Baptist Confession https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/fbcnh/sermons/717222236253287 1689 CONFESSION, CH. 29, "OF BAPTISM," PARA. 1&2: 
ITS SPIRITUAL SIGNIFICANCE AND PROPER SUBJECTS SUMMARY: In the ordinance of baptism, we see a complete departure from the Westminster Confession and Savoy Declaration. Not only does the 1689 move from the word "sacrament," it also removes terminology linking baptism to church admission, and more importantly it removes the concept that baptism is a "sign and seal" of the Covenant of Grace. This strikes at the heart of the theology that has become the foundation of infant baptism in reformed theology for hundreds of years, and leaves us with a baptism of believers only, by immersion. I. ITS SPIRITUAL SIGNIFICANCE (PARA. 1). II. ITS PROPER SUBJECTS (PARA. 2). https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/fbcnh/sermons/717222236253287 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 17 Jul 2022 12:00:00 +0000 Peaslee, Adam 0:51:26 no Peaslee, Adam - 1689 London Baptist Confession https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/fbcnh/sermons/73222310271098 1689 CONFESSION, CH. 28, "OF BAPTISM AND THE LORD'S SUPPER." I. The institution or specific character of the ordinances (para. 1a). II. The authorization or exclusive author of the ordinances (para. 1b). III. The continuation or qualified perpetuity of the ordinances (para. 1c). IV. The administration or proper administrators of the ordinances (para. 2). THE WESTMINSTER CONFESSION: "OF THE SACRAMENTS." I. Sacraments are holy signs and seals of the covenant of grace, immediately instituted by God, to represent Christ and His benefits; and to confirm our interest in Him: as also,to put a visible difference between those that belong unto the Church and the rest of the world; and solemnly to engage them to the service of God in Christ, according to His Word. II. There is, in every sacrament, a spiritual relation, or sacramental union, between the sign and the thing signified: whence it comes to pass, that the names and effects of the one are attributed to the other. III. The grace which is exhibited in or by the sacraments rightly used, is not conferred by any power in them; neither does the efficacy of a sacrament depend upon the piety or intention of him that does administer it: but upon the work of the Spirit, and the word of institution, which contains, together with a precept authorizing the use thereof, a promise of benefit to worthy receivers. IV. There are only two sacraments ordained by Christ our Lord in the Gospel; that is to say, Baptism, and the Supper of the Lord: neither of which may be dispensed by any, but by a minister of the Word lawfully ordained https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/fbcnh/sermons/73222310271098 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 03 Jul 2022 12:00:00 +0000 Peaslee, Adam 0:49:45 no Peaslee, Adam - 1689 London Baptist Confession https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/fbcnh/sermons/62022933587399 1689 CONFESSION, CH. 27, "OF THE COMMUNION OF SAINTS," PARA. 2, ITS EXPRESSIONS AND LIMITATIONS I.

Its Defined Membership (para. 6); C. Its Authoritative Power (para. 7); D. Its Appointed Government (para. 8-13). E. Its Fraternal Relations: the Communion of Local Churches (para 14–15). WALDRON'S SUMMARY of para. 14: Even though the local church is independent, that doesn't limit it from communion with other local churches. Though none are subject to another, they can benefit from one another's peace, love, and mutual edification; therefore it is the duty of each local church to pray for other local bodies, and if possible, have communion with them. WALDRON'S SUMMARY of para. 15: The possible reasons for such assemblies are difficulties, differences and injuries between churches or in one church. The biblical basis for such assemblies is the biblical doctrine of seeking counsel and not being wise in our own conceits (Gal. 2:2; Prov. 3:5–7; 12:15; 13:10). Such assemblies are also required by the biblical necessity of endeavoring to preserve unity (Eph 4:1–3). The strict limit of such an assembly is that it is merely advisory https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/fbcnh/sermons/522222221401111 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 22 May 2022 12:00:00 +0000 Peaslee, Adam 0:37:06 no Peaslee, Adam - 1689 London Baptist Confession https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/fbcnh/sermons/58222045205209 1689 CONFESSION, CH. 26, "OF THE CHURCH,"

SUMMARY: "Even though the local church is independent, that doesn't limit it from communion with other local churches.

Members of each local body should be the recipients of gospel grace, evidencing the work of God in the soul, they will willingly gather with the saints, and they will submit to the gospel's commands, including the authority of the church to both teach and discipline according to the word of God alone.

WESTMINSTER CONFESSION OF FAITH ON MARRIAGE: Paragraph 5. Adultery or fornication committed after a contract, being detected before marriage, gives just occasion to the innocent party to dissolve that contract. In the case of adultery after marriage, it is lawful for the innocent party to sue out a divorce and, after the divorce, to marry another, as if the offending party were dead. Paragraph 6. Although the corruption of man be such as is apt to study arguments unduly to put asunder those whom God has joined together in marriage: yet, nothing but adultery, or such wilful desertion as can no way be remedied by the Church, or civil magistrate, is cause sufficient of dissolving the bind of marriage: wherein, a public and orderly course of proceeding is to be observed; and the persons concerned in it not left to their own wills, and discretion, in their own case. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/fbcnh/sermons/14221038144595 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 02 Jan 2022 12:00:00 +0000 Peaslee, Adam 0:58:57 no Peaslee, Adam - 1689 London Baptist Confession https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/fbcnh/sermons/1212211252454525 1689 CONFESSION, CH. 24, OF THE CIVIL MAGISTRATE SUMMARY: The Civil Magistrate (a judge or ruler) is a position ordained by God for the purpose of God's own glory and the public good. He has been given the sword, as the means to carry out peace and protect the good, while punishing evildoers; and when he carries out his role according to God will, he should be submitted to by all those who are under him.

As a moral law it remains forever as part of God's holy law of love. As a positive law, its purpose changes from a memorial of God's rest at creation, to a memorial of Christ's rest at the new creation. The seventh day sabbath looked backwards at God's rest, but it always looked forward to the resurrection. Once the promised resurrection was accomplished, it becomes our memorial. I.

Instead, the place of God's special presence is the believer. This is the case when he/she is alone, in the home, or together with the local church. Worship is now to be done "in the spirit," in families daily, alone in our inner rooms, and regularly in fellowship with brothers and sisters in church. "Worship's Locale," is wherever the church is.

Summary: Christian Worship consists of many elements. These elements, together, become the whole of Worship, hence the term "constituent elements." They are parts, which together make up the whole. Any so-called "Christian worship" that doesn't consist of all of these events, or consists of more than these elements, is a form of worship which is outside of God's will. (Ie. it is sin.) I.

THE COMPOSITION OF CHRISTIAN LIBERTY (para. 1) II. THE COROLLARY OF CHRISTIAN LIBERTY: Liberty of Conscience (para. 2). III. THE CORRUPTION OF CHRISTIAN LIBERTY (para. 3). Waldron's Summary: "The folly and perversion of corrupting Christian liberty so that it becomes a nursery for our lusts is helpfully illustrated by the Exodus. The Exodus of Israel from Egypt was the Old Testament type of both redemption and liberation. Why did God liberate Israel from Egypt? The sole purpose was that they might serve him. Even so we are freed from the slavery of sin, Satan and men, that we might serve God without fear (Luke 1:74-75; Rom. 14:9; Gal. 5:13). Liberty is not the ultimate good. It is to be limited by higher values. There is a difference between Christian liberty and the cult of liberty. Liberty is not the right to do as I please. Liberty is the right to do as God pleases without fear. This understanding of Christian liberty will prevent us from sinfully insisting on the exercise of our rights and liberties. Yet we may not so give up our liberty as to misrepresent the faith." Its essence. B. Its fruits. 1. Its impact on gospel grace. 2.

Summary (Waldron): This paragraph makes two assertions about the sufficiency of the gospel. As 'the only outward means of revealing Christ', it is 'abundantly sufficient' for that purpose. As to its inherent converting power, it is ultimately inadequate, unless it is accompanied by the regenerating power of the Spirit. A. The assertion of its sufficiency. B. The qualification of its sufficiency. C. Charles Spurgeon's Final Statement (an added Paragraph 5). "In the gospel God freely and sincerely calls upon lost men indiscriminately to come to Christ, because He delights in and desires their salvation, so that whosoever is sincerely willing to come to Christ on God's terms may come to Him, and whosoever so comes to Him will not be turned away. Although this free and benevolent offer of Christ appears to contradict God's decree of reprobation, particular redemption, and the total inability of lost sinners to repent and believe; nevertheless Christ's servants are earnestly to entreat sinners indiscriminately to repent and believe the gospel." https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/fbcnh/sermons/6621193933550 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 06 Jun 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Peaslee, Adam 0:54:55 no Peaslee, Adam - 1689 London Baptist Confession https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/fbcnh/sermons/52321130164825 1689 CONFESSION, CH. 20, PARA. 3: "THE SOVEREIGNTY OF THIS REVELATION" I.

Deism emphasizes natural revelation for salvation. --Dispensationalism is a modern error which this chapter also refutes. A. The framework in which it was inaugurated- "The covenant of works being broken by sin, and made unprofitable unto life." --The broken covenant of works creates a framework for Christ to become the better Adam. --The broken covenant of works explains the condition of fallen mankind. B. The form in which it was inaugurated- "The covenant of works being broken by sin, and made unprofitable unto life." --The broken covenant of works creates a framework for Christ to become the better Adam. --The broken covenant of works explains the condition of fallen mankind. C. The function for which it was inaugurated - "as the means of calling the elect, and begetting in them faith and repentance." --The gospel is the means to the end, by which God saves sinners. D. The fullness with which it was inaugurated- "in this promise the gospel, as to the substance of it, was revealed, and [is] therein effectual for the conversion and salvation of sinners." --The Genesis 3:15 account, though shadowy, contains the whole gospel, and is effectual for conversion and salvation of sinners. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/fbcnh/sermons/5221123746623 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 02 May 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Peaslee, Adam 0:50:24 no Peaslee, Adam - 1689 London Baptist Confession https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/fbcnh/sermons/411212147364559 1689 CONFESSION, CH. 19, "THE LAW OF GOD": 
PARAGRAPH 7: THE HARMONY OF LAW AND GOSPEL SUMMARY (Waldron): The final comment of the Confession on the inherent obligation of the law of God is that the law and the gospel do not conflict (Gal. 3:21). Rather, the grace of the gospel and the Spirit of Christ enable us to do freely and cheerfully what God has revealed in law. How could the law and gospel conflict? The very purpose of the gospel is to deliver men from lawlessness and cause them to obey the law of God (Jer. 31:33; Ezek. 36:27; Rom. 8:4; Titus 2:14). I. NUANCED TYPOLOGY: THE OLD COVENANT IS NOT THE COVENANT OF GRACE. II. THE HARMONIOUS OPERATION OF THESE FUNCTIONS. A. The fact of this harmony. ― The Law is not against the promises of God. B. The explanation of this harmony. ― The New Covenant, The Law, and the Spirit of God. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/fbcnh/sermons/411212147364559 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 11 Apr 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Peaslee, Adam 0:46:30 no Peaslee, Adam - 1689 London Baptist Confession https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/fbcnh/sermons/328211154534067 1689 CONFESSION, CH. 19, "THE LAW OF GOD":

PARAGRAPH 5: THE OBLIGATION OF THE MORAL LAW. SUMMARY (Gerstner): The moral law is perpetually binding on everyone, and the gospel, so far from cancelling that obligation, actually confirms it. The moral law has had its additions but never its subtractions, and never shall. Ceremonial and judicial laws may come and go, but the moral law, according to the Confession, abides FOREVER. THE INHERENT OBLIGATION OF THE LAW OF GOD. A. Its Permanent Duration. 1. The Moral Law is For All Times B. Its Universal Scope for All People. 1. The Law's Goodness Commands Obedience. 2. God Commands Obedience. C. Its Heightened Strength in the New Covenant. 1. The Heart of Flesh Strengthens the Commands for Obedience. 2. Gratitude Strengthens the Commands for Obedience. 3. The Law is Fulfilled and Established in the New Covenant. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/fbcnh/sermons/31421218145817 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 14 Mar 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Peaslee, Adam 0:40:18 no Peaslee, Adam - 1689 London Baptist Confession https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/fbcnh/sermons/3121121472203 1689 CONFESSION, ch. 19, "THE LAW OF GOD": 
PARAGRAPH 4: THE JUDICIAL LAW SUMMARY: "The Confession makes two balancing points regarding the judicial law speaking of its ancient expiration and its modern application. This paragraph (which is substantially the same in the Westminster) is clearly based on Calvin's treatment of the judicial law in the 'Institutes.' This treatment is very relevant in light of the idea of the abiding validity of the judicial law being espoused in our day." I. ANOTHER LAW - "SUNDRY JUDICIAL LAWS." A. Another Positive Law. B. Sundry Judicial Laws. II. ANOTHER LAW WHICH EXPIRED. Waldron calls this its "ancient expiration." A. The Old Covenant Law Expired. B. The Old Covenant People Expired. C. None Now Obliged by Virtue of the Institution. 1. None Obliged. 2. By virtue of the Institution. III. THERE IS A GENERAL EQUITY FOR MORAL USE. A. Obligated by the Law's Moral Virtue. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/fbcnh/sermons/3121121472203 Religion & Spirituality Mon, 01 Mar 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Peaslee, Adam 0:36:35 no Peaslee, Adam - 1689 London Baptist Confession https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/fbcnh/sermons/21421224803562 1689 CONFESSION, ch. 19, "THE LAW OF GOD": 
PARA. 3: THE CEREMONIAL LAW SUMMARY: (Gerstner) The CEREMONIAL LAWS were added to this moral law for the Old Testament church, prefiguring Jesus Christ. Therefore, they are now appropriately abrogated under the New Testament. If the moral law is a tutor to bring us to Christ, the ceremonial law shows us the Christ to whom the moral law brought us. I. ANOTHER LAW ― CEREMONIAL. A. Natural Law vs Positive Law. B. Law of Typical Ordinances. Symbols (represents something else): Word = Christ; Bread = word of God; Bread and wine = body and blood; Wind = Spirit; Leprosy = sin and death; Stone = hard unfeeling heart. Types: "prophetic symbolism" (points to something else coming): Passover Lamb = Jesus; Adam = Israel, Christ; Garden, tabernacle = heavenly temple; Noah's ark = Christ. C. Ceremonial Law is for worship. D. Ceremonial Law is for instructions. II. THE CEREMONIAL LAW IS MUTABLE. A. Appointed only for a time. B. Abrogated by Christ ― the only law-giver. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/fbcnh/sermons/21421224803562 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 14 Feb 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Peaslee, Adam 0:40:51 no Peaslee, Adam - 1689 London Baptist Confession https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/fbcnh/sermons/131212128154573 1689 CONFESSION, CH. 19, "THE LAW OF GOD": 
Paragraph 2: The Repetition of the Moral Law SUMMARY: The universal law, written on Adam's heart, never expired as a requirement of mankind before God. This same law, now largely neglected by man, is republished in stone on Mount Sinai, alongside the Mosaic Covenant, placing Israel under the law, and under a covenant of works requiring perfect and perpetual obedience for life in Canaan. The Moral, Judicial, and Ceremonial Laws will illustrate for Israel their slavery to sin, their inability to stand before God in their works, while at the same time pointing them to God Himself as their savior in the many ceremonial types and shadows of one who would be mediator between them and their God. I. THE SAME LAW. A. The "original dispensation of the law" is also the Moral Law, or the Ten Commandments, REPUBLISHED at mount Sinai. This is the universal law. B. The Conscience and the Law Written on the Human Heart. C. The Law Continues to be a Perfect Rule of Righteousness. II. THE SAME LAW DELIVERED BY GOD UPON MOUNT SINAI. A. The Law Republished. B. The Covenant of Works Republished. C. The Born Again Believer is Renewed in a New Relationship to the Law. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/fbcnh/sermons/131212128154573 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 31 Jan 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Peaslee, Adam 0:42:39 no Peaslee, Adam - 1689 London Baptist Confession https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/fbcnh/sermons/14211122421090 1689 CONFESSION, ch. 19, "THE LAW OF GOD": 
PARA. 1: ORIGINAL DISPENSATION. I. THE ORIGINAL DISPENSATION OF THE LAW OF GOD. A. Its substance. 1. A universal law. 2. A specific precept. B. Its obligation. C. Its enforcement. 1. Life for obedience. 2. Death for disobedience. D. Its accompaniment. DEFINITIONS: "Federal head" (Also called a "Covenant Head"): a person who represents others in a covenant between God and man. Adam was a covenant head ― when he sinned, all sinned and died in him. Christ is a covenant head ― when he rose from the dead in righteousness, all (who are joined to him by faith," rose with Him in new life. "Natural Law" (Also called "moral," or "universal" law): The law written on the heart and summarized in the Ten Commandments. "Positive Law": A particular precept, for a particular person, for a particular time, and for a particular purpose. Example: "Thou shalt not eat..." "Negative Righteousness": Adam's created state. Justified due to a lack of sin, without a record of personal righteousness. "Positive Righteousness": Justified due to a lack of sin, as well as a record or perfect, perpetual righteousness. Christ is the only person to have this personally, the redeemed experience this righteousness "in Christ." https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/fbcnh/sermons/14211122421090 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 03 Jan 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Peaslee, Adam 0:51:56 no Peaslee, Adam - 1689 London Baptist Confession https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/fbcnh/sermons/126202130543096 1689 CONFESSION, CH. 18, "ASSURANCE OF SAVING FAITH." PARA. 3: ASSURANCE IS ATTAINABLE. Summary (Gerstner): "Difficult as assurance may be to obtain, it is not too difficult for it to be SHAKEN, LESSENED, OR INTERRUPTED from four specific causes: simple neglect; commission of SOME PARTICULAR SIN; SUDDEN OR STRONG TEMPTATION; or God's withdrawal of THE SENSE OF HIS PRESENCE. Nevertheless, the regenerate are never COMPLETELY without faith, love, and a sincere obedience by which assurance may be revived, and meanwhile they are always KEPT FROM COMPLETE DESPAIR." IV. ASSURANCE IS VARIABLE. A. The fact of this variation. 1. As by negligence in preserving of it. B. The reasons for this variation. 1. By falling into some special sin. 2. By some sudden or vehement temptation. 3. By God's withdrawing the light of His countenance. C. The limits of this variation ― Yet they are never destitute of: 1. The seed of God. 2. That life of faith. 3. That love of Christ and the brethren. 4. That sincerity of heart and conscience of duty out of which, by the operation of the Spirit, this assurance may in due time be revived. 5.

PARA. 3: ASSURANCE IS ATTAINABLE. Waldron: There are three points in this paragraph: the difficulty of attaining assurance, the provision for attaining assurance and the duty of attaining assurance. I: THE DIFFICULTY OF ATTAINING ASSURANCE. A. (Full) Infallible assurance doesn't belong to the essence of faith. B. A believer may wait long for assurance. C. A believer may conflict with many difficulties before partaking of a full assurance. II: THE PROVISION FOR ATTAINING ASSURANCE A. Provision defined. B. Enabled by the spirit. 1.

Ch. 17, Para. 1, Part 2. I: THE ELECT are those whom God accepts, calls, sanctifies, and gives faith... Unto Salvation. II: THE ELECT FACE TRIALS. A: Unbelief is a violent enemy of God's people, trying constantly to remove them from their foundation. B: The temptations of Satan are his attempt to remove the elect from their foundation (Matthew 4:1-10). --Satan tempts Christ to prove himself by works and miracles. He also tempts Him to trust in Himself for His own needs, instead of trusting in God alone. --Satan tempts Christ to tempt God, mistaking His promises for the foundation of true faith. --Satan tempts Christ to worship him with the promises of the world's glory. Satan confuses the underlying motives for true worship, which is a love for God's loveliness,—not a love for gifts and promises. C: These storms and floods will obscure the sense of God's love, but can not remove the elect from their foundation. --Ps. 89:31-32. "If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments; Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes." --1 Cor. 11:32. "But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world." III: THE ELECT FIND COMFORT IN THE IMMUTABILITY OF GOD. Mal. 3:6.

Unto Salvation. Sam Waldron: "To speak of the subjects of perseverance involves the question: 'Who is it that perseveres?' Those who are given the gift of perseverance are described here in four ways. They are those 'accepted in the beloved', not those who have, to use the modern phrase, accepted Jesus as their Savior. They are the 'effectually called', not merely all those who are generally called by the gospel and respond in some way. They are those 'sanctified by the Spirit', not merely all those with an outward profession and reformation of life. They are those 'given the precious faith of [God's] elect', not all and every sort of believer. This is very important." A: THE ELECT NEITHER TOTALLY NOR FINALLY FALL. B: THE ELECT SHALL PERSEVERE TO THE END AND BE FINALLY SAVED. (A&B contain the entirety of the Westminster Confession of Faith. All that follows is from the First London Confession of Faith.) C: THE ELECT ARE GIVEN GIFTS AND CALLING FROM GOD. 1: God will not remove said gifts. 2: God will continue to give said gifts. 3: These gifts are used by God to nourish the elect in faith, repentance, love, joy, hope, and all the graces of the Spirit unto immortality. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/fbcnh/sermons/816202125336608 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 30 Aug 2020 12:00:00 +0000 Peaslee, Adam 0:51:19 no Peaslee, Adam - 1689 London Baptist Confession https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/fbcnh/sermons/81020923157135 1689 Confession of Faith, Ch. 17, Introduction. I: The law and perseverance. II: Why Perseverance? A: Perseverance vs Eternal Security. B: Perseverance vs Preservation. III: Perseverance "Unto Salvation"- a Trinitarian Work. IV: Perseverance a Gospel Grace. A: Objectively. B: Subjectively. V: Perseverance is NOT, Perseverance IS. (From AW Pink, Eternal Security) A. Perseverance does NOT mean: --that every PROFESSING Christian will reach Heaven. --that SEEMING grace cannot be lost. --that initial and preparatory grace is a guarantee of glorification. --that true grace if left in our hands would not be lost. --That true grace may not be hindered in its operations and suffer a relapse. --that the comforts of true grace cannot be eclipsed. --that the presence of indwelling grace renders it unnecessary that its possessor should persevere. B. Perseverance DOES mean: It is to "continue following the Lord our God" (1 Samuel 2:14), to "walk in the paths of righteousness" (Psalm 23:5), to be "steadfast in the covenant" (Psalm 78:37), to "endure unto the end" (Matthew 24:13), to "deny self and take up the cross daily" (Luke 9:23), to "abide in Christ" (John 15:4), to "cleave unto the Lord" (Acts 1L23), to "press toward the mark" (Philippians 3:14), to "continue in the faith grounded and settled" (Colossians 1:13), to "hold faith and a good conscience" (1 Timothy 1:19), to "hold fast the confidence and rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end" (Hebrews 3:6), to "run with patience the race that is set before us" (Hebrews 12:1), to "stablish our hearts" (James 5:8), to "be faithful unto death" (Revelation 2:10). https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/fbcnh/sermons/81020923157135 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 09 Aug 2020 12:00:00 +0000 Peaslee, Adam 0:47:51 no Peaslee, Adam - 1689 London Baptist Confession https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/fbcnh/sermons/6172094946583 1689 Chapter 16, Paragraph 7 Outline Summary (Sam Waldron): "A good work must meet or confirm to four criteria. It must have the right matter (it must be a thing which God commands); the right root (it must proceed from a heart purified by faith); the right manner (God's work must be done God's way) and the right end (the glory of God must be its ultimate purpose). Though the unconverted are often said to do good things in the Scripture (Rom. 2:14; 2 Kings 10:30-31; 1 Kings 21:27-29; Phil. 1:15-18), such 'splendid sins' (Luther) are not truly good works or pleasing to God." A good work must have the right matter. (2 Kings 10:30, 1 Kings 21:27,29) A good work must have the right root. (Gen. 4:5, Heb. 11:4,6) A good work must be done in the right manner. (1 Cor. 13:1) A good work must be done to the right end. (Matt. 6:2,5) Without these things, the unregenerate cannot please God. (Amos 5:21,22, Rom 9:16, Titus 3:5) It is worse for those who neglect works altogether.

Paragraph 6 Outline. Par. 6-7 "The Acceptance of Good Works." Paragraph 6: The good works of believers are accepted. I: "Yet notwithstanding." Good works are limited in that they can't supererogate or merit the reward due to their weakness and sin... YET, they are accepted. II: Christ is the basis of the acceptance of our works. A: God's will to accept both the persons and works of the elect is grounded in predestination. (Eph. 1:5). B: God's will to accept both the persons and works of the elect will be done "by the power of God through faith unto salvation..." (1 Pet. 1:5). III: Blameless and Unreprovable are NOT the basis of the acceptance of our works. A: God sees our weaknesses. B: God looks upon our works "in Christ." IV: God is pleased to accept and reward that which is sincere. (Mat. 25). A: Image bearers owe God Good Works because he "made them and takes care of them." B: Believers commit good works because they "love His glory." C: Sincerity is a love for God's law. Must be read in the light of paragraph 1. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/fbcnh/sermons/51201252476552 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 03 May 2020 12:00:00 +0000 Peaslee, Adam 0:38:43 no Peaslee, Adam - 1689 London Baptist Confession https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/fbcnh/sermons/418201524427257 SECOND LONDON BAPTIST CONFESSION (1689), "Of Good Works." OUTLINE for para. 4-5 "The Limitations of Good Works." PARAGRAPH 4: Works of Supererogation are impossible. Definition: Webster's New World Dictionary says that to supererogate is 'to do more than is required or expected' and says that it means literally, 'to pay back above or beyond what one owes'. It defines works of supererogation as follows: 'In the Roman Catholic Church good works done, as by saints, over and above those commanded by God.' ― Supererogation is impossible because our works are stained by sin. ― Supererogation is impossible because perfect obedience is the expectation. PARAGRAPH 5: Works of Merit are impossible. "We cannot by our best works merit pardon of sin or eternal life at the hand of God." --Reason 1: There is a "great disproportion... between them and the glory to come." (Romans 3:20, Ephesians 2:8-9, Romans 4:6). A: The legalist error misunderstand the correlation between works and reward. B: The antinomian error misunderstands the correlation between works and reward. "When they have done all..." C: Legalism and Antinomianism are connected, and have the same remedy which is the gospel. --Reason 2: There is an "infinite distance... between us and God." --Reason 3: "Good works are originated by the Spirit of God." (Galatians 5:22-23). --Reason 4: "As they are wrought by us they are defiled and mixed with so much weakness and imperfection, that they cannot endure the severity of God's punishment." (Isaiah 64:6). https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/fbcnh/sermons/418201524427257 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 19 Apr 2020 12:00:00 +0000 Peaslee, Adam 0:35:34 no Peaslee, Adam - 1689 London Baptist Confession
