Chapter 3: God's Decree | 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith

Chapter 3 of the 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith discusses God's eternal decree. It affirms that God, by His wise and holy counsel, has unchangeably ordained everything that happens, yet in a way that does not make Him the author of sin or negate human free will. It includes the doctrine of predestination, where God has chosen some people and angels for eternal life and others for just condemnation, all to display His glory. This decree is certain and unchangeable, emphasizing God's sovereignty, wisdom, and grace.
