Second London Baptist Confession 1689, "Of Good Works." 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.
