Shekinah Church

We are a community of Christian believers, who are in association with John Knox Presbyterian Church. We are committed to:

• The Bible as our only rule of faith and practice. It is inerrant, infallible, inspired by God in its original autographs, and preserved by Him for His people throughout the ages.
• The Westminster Standards, which include the doctrines of grace, which are known by the acronym TULIP.
• The preaching of The Word, the exercise of Church discipline, and the right celebration of the sacraments.

WESTMINSTER LARGER CATECHISM QUESTION OF THE WEEK

Q. 73. How doth faith justify a sinner in the sight of God?

A. Faith justifies a sinner in the sight of God, not because of those other graces which do always accompany it, or of good works that are the fruits of it,[304] nor as if the grace of faith, or any act thereof, were imputed to him for his justification;[305] but only as it is an instrument by which he receiveth and applieth Christ and his righteousness.[306]
