Reformed Church Tshwane: Evening devotion for Sunday 7 July
Prayer
Lord, you have prepared such good things for those who love you, things that pass all our understanding - pour into our hearts such a love towards you, that we, loving you in all things, may be kept so as to obtain your promises, promises which exceed all that we can desire. Through Jesus Christ our Lord we pray, Amen.
Bible reading: 1 Thessalonians 1:6; 2:13
Belgic Confession Article 5: The Authority of Scripture
We receive all these books, and these only, as holy and canonical, for the regulation, foundation, and confirmation of our faith. We believe without any doubt all things contained in them, not so much because the church receives and approves them as such, but especially because the Holy Spirit witnesses in our hearts that they are from God, and also because they contain the evidence of this in themselves; for even the blind are able to perceive that the things foretold in them are being fulfilled.
