Westminster Confession Study Guide

I created this Westminster Confession Study Guide to help me review the Westminster Confession of Faith, as part of leadership training at Grace Presbyterian Church (PCA) in Dearborn, Michigan. The leadership training class is 12 weeks long and covers other materials, but the first three weeks we will study the WCF. This study guide is essentially a paraphrase of the confession (WCF), with a few historical notes and comments. For your serious study, please use the Westminster Confession of Faith with Scripture Proofs, and the related resources near the bottom of this page.

Week 1: Chapters 1–7

Chapter 1: Of the Holy Scripture

The Westminster Confession of Faith (WCF) begins by establishing the supreme authority and necessity of the Holy Scripture. While the “light of nature” and the works of creation and providence manifest God’s goodness, wisdom, and power, leaving humanity without excuse (Romans 1:19-20, 1:32; 2:1), they are insufficient to provide the knowledge of God and His will necessary for salvation. Therefore, God has revealed Himself through His Word, which He has committed to writing to preserve and propagate the truth.

The Necessity and Source of Scripture: Humanity universally seeks meaning, acceptance, and life beyond hardship. We desire a “word from someone somewhere else” to provide answers. While many look for this word in success, relationships, or self-discovery, the biblical position is that true spiritual wisdom comes not from gazing into one’s own soul, but from a transcendent source outside of oneself. The thoughts of God are only comprehended through the Spirit of God (1 Corinthians 2). This Spirit inspired the apostles to speak and write what is now the New Testament. Therefore, to know God, one must listen to God through His revealed Word. The authority of this word was a central issue of the Protestant Reformation, which sought to bring the church back to the Word of God as the ultimate standard, questioning the church’s own authority where it conflicted.

The Canon of Scripture: The Holy Scripture consists of the 66 books of the Old and New Testaments, which are given by the inspiration of God to be the rule of faith and life.

Authority and Interpretation: The authority of Scripture depends wholly upon God, its author, not on the testimony of any man or church. It is to be received because it is the Word of God. While the testimony of the church can lead to a high esteem for Scripture, full persuasion of its infallible truth and divine authority comes from the inward work of the Holy Spirit.

The entire counsel of God concerning all things necessary for His glory and for humanity’s salvation, faith, and life is either explicitly set down in Scripture or can be deduced by good and necessary consequence. Nothing is to be added to it. The supreme judge for all religious controversies is the Holy Spirit speaking in the Scripture.

Chapter 2: Of God, and of the Holy Trinity

There is only one living and true God, who is infinite in being and perfection. He is a most pure spirit, invisible, without body, parts, or passions. He is immutable, immense, eternal, incomprehensible, almighty, most wise, most holy, most free, and most absolute. He works all things according to the counsel of His own immutable and righteous will, for His own glory. He is most loving, gracious, merciful, long-suffering, abundant in goodness and truth, forgiving iniquity, transgression, and sin, and is the rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. He is also most just and terrible in His judgments, hating all sin, and will by no means clear the guilty.

God has all life, glory, goodness, and blessedness in and of Himself. He alone is the fountain of all being. He is owed whatever worship, service, or obedience He is pleased to require from His creatures. In the unity of the Godhead, there are three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost, who are of one substance, power, and eternity.

Chapter 3: Of God’s Eternal Decree

God, from all eternity, by the most wise and holy counsel of His own will, did freely and unchangeably ordain whatsoever comes to pass. This decree does not make God the author of sin, nor does it offer violence to the will of the creatures or take away the liberty of second causes.

Predestination and Election: By this decree, some men and angels are predestinated unto everlasting life (election), and others foreordained to everlasting death (reprobation). This choice is particular and unchangeable. God’s choice of the elect was not based on His foresight of their faith, good works, or perseverance, but solely on His mere free grace and love, to the praise of His glorious grace.

Historical Context of WCF Chapter 3: The formulation of this chapter was the subject of intense and deliberate debate within the Westminster Assembly. The Divines were intent on asserting a generic Calvinism, not a specific variety, and carefully worded the chapter to be a “well-pondered and thoroughly adjusted expression” of their convictions. A key debate centered on the exclusion of Amyraldianism, a view held by some French theologians (also called “hypothetical universalism”). This view, promoted in the Assembly by men like Edmund Calamy, argued that Christ died to make all people “salvable” (universal redemption), with a conditional intention for the reprobate if they believe, while maintaining an absolute intention for the elect. The Assembly ultimately rejected this by affirming in WCF 3.6 that the elect are “redeemed by Christ,” and “Neither are any other redeemed by Christ…but the elect only.” This wording places the decree of election logically prior to the decree for Christ’s redemption, making the Atonement a means to execute the decree of election, thereby deliberately excluding the Amyraldian framework.

Chapter 4: Of Creation

In the beginning, it pleased the Triune God to create the world and all things in it, whether visible or invisible, in the space of six days, and all very good. After making all other creatures, God created man, male and female, with rational and immortal souls, in His own image, endowed with knowledge, righteousness, and true holiness. They had the law of God written in their hearts and the power to fulfill it, yet with the possibility of transgressing, being left to the liberty of their own will.

Chapter 5: Of Providence

God, the great Creator, upholds, directs, disposes, and governs all creatures, actions, and things, from the greatest to the least, by His most wise and holy providence. Although all things come to pass immutably according to God’s decree, He orders them to fall out according to the nature of second causes (either necessarily, freely, or contingently). God ordinarily works through means, but is free to work without, above, and against them at His pleasure.

The providence of God extends even to the first fall and all other sins of angels and men. This is not a bare permission, but a permission which involves a most wise and powerful bounding, ordering, and governing of them for His own holy ends. However, the sinfulness proceeds only from the creature and not from God, who is neither the author nor approver of sin. God often leaves His own children to temptations and the corruption of their own hearts to chastise them, humble them, and make them more watchful and dependent on Him.

Chapter 6: Of the Fall of Man, of Sin, and of the Punishment thereof

Our first parents, being seduced by the subtlety and temptation of Satan, sinned in eating the forbidden fruit. By this sin, they fell from their original righteousness and communion with God, and so became dead in sin. Because they were the root of all mankind, the guilt of this sin was imputed, and the same death in sin and corrupted nature were conveyed to all their posterity. This “original corruption” renders us utterly indisposed, disabled, and made opposite to all good, and wholly inclined to all evil. From it proceed all actual transgressions. Every sin, both original and actual, is a transgression of God’s righteous law, brings guilt upon the sinner, and makes them subject to the wrath of God, the curse of the law, and death, with all miseries spiritual, temporal, and eternal.

Chapter 7: Of God’s Covenant with Man

The distance between God and the creature is so great that although rational creatures owe obedience to Him, they could never have any fruition of Him as their blessedness and reward but by some voluntary condescension on God’s part, which He has been pleased to express by way of covenant.

1. The Covenant of Works: The first covenant made with man was a covenant of works. In it, life was promised to Adam, and in him to his posterity, upon the condition of perfect and personal obedience (Genesis 2:16-17).
2. The Covenant of Grace: After man’s fall made him incapable of life by that covenant, God was pleased to make a second, commonly called the covenant of grace. Here, God freely offers life and salvation by Jesus Christ to sinners, requiring of them faith in Him that they may be saved. He promises to give His Holy Spirit to all who are ordained unto life, to make them willing and able to believe.

This covenant was administered differently in the Old and New Testaments.

• Under the Law (Old Testament): It was administered by promises, prophecies, sacrifices, circumcision, the paschal lamb, and other types, all fore-signifying Christ to come. These were sufficient to build up the elect in faith in the promised Messiah (1 Corinthians 10:1-4).
• Under the Gospel (New Testament): It is administered through the preaching of the Word and the sacraments of Baptism and the Lord’s Supper. In this administration, the substance, Christ, is exhibited more fully and with greater spiritual efficacy to all nations (Matthew 28:19). There are not two different covenants of grace, but one and the same, under various dispensations.

Week 2: Chapters 8–19

Chapter 8: Of Christ the Mediator

God, in His eternal purpose, chose and ordained the Lord Jesus, His only begotten Son, to be the Mediator between God and man. He is uniquely appointed as Prophet, Priest, and King; the Head and Savior of His Church. The Son of God, the second person of the Trinity, being very and eternal God, took upon Himself man’s nature, with all its essential properties and common infirmities, yet without sin. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Ghost, in the womb of the virgin Mary. Thus, two whole, perfect, and distinct natures — the Godhead and the manhood — were inseparably joined together in one person, without conversion, composition, or confusion. This person is very God and very man, yet one Christ, the only Mediator.

The Lord Jesus, in His human nature, was sanctified and anointed with the Holy Spirit above measure. He perfectly fulfilled the law, underwent the punishments due to us, was crucified, died, and was buried. He rose again from the dead on the third day with the same body, ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of the Father, making intercession for the saints. He will return to judge men and angels at the end of the world.

Chapter 9: Of Free Will

God has endued the will of man with natural liberty, so that it is neither forced nor determined by any necessity of nature to do good or evil. The state of man’s will is described in four conditions:

1. State of Innocency: Man had freedom and power to will and to do what was good, but was mutable and could fall from it.
2. State of Sin: Man has lost all ability of will to any spiritual good accompanying salvation. He is a slave to sin and is unable, by his own strength, to convert himself or prepare himself for conversion.
3. State of Grace: When God converts a sinner, He frees him from his natural bondage under sin and enables him freely to will and to do what is spiritually good. Yet, because of remaining corruption, he does not perfectly will only what is good but also wills what is evil.
4. State of Glory: The will of man is made perfectly and immutably free to do good alone.

Chapter 10: Of Effectual Calling

All those whom God has predestinated unto life, He is pleased, in His appointed time, effectually to call by His Word and Spirit out of their state of sin and death to grace and salvation by Jesus Christ. This calling involves enlightening their minds spiritually, taking away their heart of stone and giving them a heart of flesh, and renewing their wills. This effectual call is of God’s free and special grace alone, not from anything foreseen in man. Others, though they may be called by the ministry of the Word (the outward call), never truly come to Christ and cannot be saved.

Chapter 11: Of Justification

Those whom God effectually calls, He also freely justifies. Justification is an act of God’s free grace, wherein He pardons all their sins and accepts them as righteous in His sight. This is not for anything wrought in them or done by them, but for Christ’s sake alone. It is not by imputing faith itself as their righteousness, but by imputing the obedience and satisfaction of Christ unto them. They receive and rest on Him and His righteousness by faith, which faith they have not of themselves; it is the gift of God. Faith is the alone instrument of justification, yet it is not alone in the person justified but is always accompanied by all other saving graces.

Chapter 12: Of Adoption

All those that are justified, God vouchsafes, in and for His only Son Jesus Christ, to make partakers of the grace of adoption. By this, they are taken into the number of the children of God and enjoy the liberties and privileges thereof. They are given the Spirit of adoption, have access to the throne of grace with boldness, are enabled to cry, “Abba, Father,” are pitied, protected, provided for, and chastened by Him as by a Father, yet are never cast off but are sealed to the day of redemption.

Chapter 13: Of Sanctification

They who are effectually called and regenerated, having a new heart and a new spirit created in them, are further sanctified, really and personally, through the virtue of Christ’s death and resurrection, by His Word and Spirit dwelling in them. The dominion of the whole body of sin is destroyed, and the several lusts thereof are more and more weakened and mortified, while they are more and more quickened and strengthened in all saving graces. This sanctification is imperfect in this life; there remains a continual and irreconcilable war, the flesh lusting against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh (Galatians 5:17).

Chapter 14: Of Saving Faith

The grace of faith, whereby the elect are enabled to believe to the saving of their souls, is the work of the Spirit of Christ in their hearts. By this faith, a Christian believes to be true whatsoever is revealed in the Word. The principal acts of saving faith are accepting, receiving, and resting upon Christ alone for justification, sanctification, and eternal life, by virtue of the covenant of grace. This faith can be weak or strong but it gets the victory, growing up in many to the attainment of full assurance through Christ.

Chapter 15: Of Repentance unto Life

Repentance unto life is an evangelical grace, the doctrine of which is to be preached by every minister of the Gospel. By it, a sinner, out of the sight and sense not only of the danger but also of the filthiness and odiousness of his sins, so grieves for and hates his sins as to turn from them all unto God, purposing and endeavoring to walk with Him in all the ways of His commandments.

Chapter 16: Of Good Works

Good works are only such as God has commanded in His holy Word. Works done in obedience to God’s commandments are the fruits and evidences of a true and lively faith. By them, believers manifest their thankfulness, strengthen their assurance, edify their brethren, adorn the profession of the Gospel, stop the mouths of adversaries, and glorify God. Their ability to do good works is not of themselves but wholly from the Spirit of Christ. They who attain the greatest height in this life are still unprofitable servants and fall short of what they are bound to do. Nevertheless, the good works of believers are accepted in Christ, as God is pleased to accept and reward that which is sincere, although accompanied with many weaknesses.

Chapter 17: Of the Perseverance of the Saints

They whom God has accepted in His Beloved, effectually called, and sanctified by His Spirit, can neither totally nor finally fall away from the state of grace, but shall certainly persevere therein to the end, and be eternally saved. This perseverance depends not upon their own free will, but upon the immutability of the decree of election, the efficacy of the merit and intercession of Jesus Christ, the abiding of the Spirit, and the nature of the covenant of grace.

Chapter 18: Of the Assurance of Grace and Salvation

Although hypocrites may vainly deceive themselves, those who truly believe in the Lord Jesus may in this life be certainly assured that they are in the state of grace and may rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. This infallible assurance is founded upon the divine truth of the promises of salvation, the inward evidence of those graces unto which these promises are made, and the testimony of the Spirit of adoption witnessing with our spirits that we are the children of God. This assurance is not essential to faith; a true believer may wait long and struggle before partaking of it, and it may be shaken, but they are never utterly destitute of the seed of God and life of faith.

Chapter 19: Of the Law of God

God gave to Adam a law, as a covenant of works, binding him and his posterity to perpetual obedience. After the fall, this law continued to be a perfect rule of righteousness and was delivered by God upon Mount Sinai in ten commandments (the moral law).

Besides this moral law, God gave to Israel:

• Ceremonial Laws: Containing typical ordinances of worship prefiguring Christ. These are now abrogated under the New Testament.
• Judicial Laws: Given to them as a body politic, which expired with the state of that people. Their general equity, however, may still be of moral use.

The moral law forever binds all, both justified persons and others, to the obedience thereof. Although true believers are not under the law as a covenant of works to be justified or condemned by it, it is of great use to them as a rule of life, informing them of the will of God and their duty.

Week 3: Chapters 20–33

Chapter 20: Of Christian Liberty, and Liberty of Conscience

The liberty which Christ has purchased for believers under the Gospel consists in their freedom from the guilt of sin, the condemning wrath of God, the curse of the moral law, and in their deliverance from this present evil world, bondage to Satan, and dominion of sin. God alone is Lord of the conscience, and has left it free from the doctrines and commandments of men which are contrary to His Word or beside it in matters of faith or worship. Those who practice any sin or cherish any lust upon the pretense of Christian liberty pervert the main end of the grace of the Gospel, which is that we, being delivered from our enemies, might serve the Lord without fear, in holiness and righteousness, all the days of our lives.

Chapter 21: Of Religious Worship, and the Sabbath Day

The light of nature shows that there is a God who ought to be feared, loved, praised, and trusted. But the acceptable way of worshiping the true God is instituted by Himself and so limited by His own revealed will that He may not be worshiped according to the imaginations of men or in any other way not prescribed in Holy Scripture (the Regulative Principle of Worship). Religious worship is to be given to God, the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, and to Him alone. Prayer is to be made for all sorts of men living, or that shall live hereafter, but not for the dead.

God has particularly appointed one day in seven for a Sabbath, to be kept holy unto Him. From the resurrection of Christ, this was changed to the first day of the week, which is the Lord’s Day. It is to be kept holy by a holy resting all the day from one’s own works, words, and thoughts about worldly employments and recreations, and taking up the whole time in the public and private exercises of His worship, and in the duties of necessity and mercy.

Chapter 22: Of Lawful Oaths and Vows

A lawful oath is a part of religious worship wherein, upon just occasion, the person swearing solemnly calls God to witness what he asserts or promises. The name of God is the only name by which men ought to swear. A vow is of a like nature with a promissory oath and ought to be made to God alone, voluntarily, out of faith and conscience of duty. No man may vow to do anything forbidden in the Word of God.

Chapter 23: Of the Civil Magistrate

God, the supreme Lord and King of all the world, has ordained civil magistrates to be under Him, over the people, for His own glory and the public good. He has armed them with the power of the sword for the defense of the good and the punishment of evildoers. It is lawful for Christians to accept and execute the office of a magistrate. The civil magistrate may not assume the administration of the Word and sacraments or the power of the keys of the kingdom of heaven. It is the duty of people to pray for magistrates, to honor their persons, to pay them tribute, and to obey their lawful commands.

Chapter 24: Of Marriage and Divorce

Marriage is to be between one man and one woman. It is ordained for the mutual help of husband and wife, for the increase of mankind with a legitimate issue, and of the Church with an holy seed, and for preventing uncleanness. It is lawful for all sorts of people to marry who are able with judgment to give their consent. Marriage ought not to be within the degrees of consanguinity or affinity forbidden in the Word. Adultery or such willful desertion as can no way be remedied by the Church or civil magistrate is cause sufficient for dissolving the bond of marriage.

Chapter 25: Of the Church

The catholic or universal Church, which is invisible, consists of the whole number of the elect that have been, are, or shall be gathered into one, under Christ the Head. The visible Church, which is also catholic or universal under the Gospel, consists of all those throughout the world that profess the true religion, together with their children. Unto this visible Church, Christ has given the ministry, oracles, and ordinances of God. There is no other head of the Church but the Lord Jesus Christ.

Chapter 26: Of the Communion of Saints

All saints that are united to Jesus Christ their Head, by His Spirit and by faith, have fellowship with Him in His graces, sufferings, death, resurrection, and glory. And, being united to one another in love, they have communion in each other’s gifts and graces, and are obliged to the performance of such public and private duties as do conduce to their mutual good.

Chapter 27: Of the Sacraments

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. There are only two sacraments ordained by Christ our Lord in the Gospel: Baptism and the Lord’s Supper.

Chapter 28: Of Baptism

Baptism is a sacrament of the New Testament, ordained by Jesus Christ, as a sign and seal of the covenant of grace, of ingrafting into Christ, of regeneration, of remission of sins, and of giving up unto God, through Jesus Christ, to walk in newness of life. Not only those that do actually profess faith in and obedience unto Christ, but also the infants of one or both believing parents, are to be baptized. Dipping is not necessary; baptism is rightly administered by pouring or sprinkling water upon the person.

Chapter 29: Of the Lord’s Supper

The Lord’s Supper was instituted by Christ to be observed in His Church unto the end of the world for the perpetual remembrance of the sacrifice of Himself in His death, the sealing of all benefits thereof unto true believers, their spiritual nourishment and growth in Him, and their further engagement in and to all duties which they owe unto Him. In this sacrament, Christ is not offered up to His Father, nor any real sacrifice made for remission of sins. The doctrine commonly called transubstantiation is repugnant not only to Scripture but even to common sense and reason. Worthy receivers, outwardly partaking of the visible elements, do then also inwardly by faith, really and indeed, yet not carnally but spiritually, receive and feed upon Christ crucified.

Chapter 30: Of Church Censures

The Lord Jesus, as King and Head of His Church, has appointed a government in the hand of Church officers. To these officers, the keys of the kingdom of heaven are committed. For the better effecting of their purpose, the officers of the Church are to proceed by admonition, suspension from the sacrament of the Lord’s Supper for a season, and by excommunication from the Church, according to the nature of the crime and demerit of the person.

Chapter 31: Of Synods and Councils

For the better government and further edification of the Church, there ought to be such assemblies as are commonly called synods or councils. It belongs to synods and councils ministerially to determine controversies of faith and cases of conscience; to set down rules and directions for the better ordering of the public worship of God and government of His Church. All synods or councils since the apostles’ times may err and many have erred. Therefore, they are not to be made the rule of faith or practice, but to be used as a help in both.

Chapter 32: Of the State of Men after Death, and of the Resurrection of the Dead

The bodies of men, after death, return to dust and see corruption. But their souls, which neither die nor sleep, having an immortal subsistence, immediately return to God who gave them. The souls of the righteous are received into the highest heavens, where they behold the face of God and wait for the full redemption of their bodies. The souls of the wicked are cast into hell, where they remain in torments and utter darkness. At the last day, such as are found alive shall not die, but be changed; and all the dead shall be raised up with the selfsame bodies, which shall be united again to their souls forever.

Chapter 33: Of the Last Judgment

God has appointed a day wherein He will judge the world in righteousness by Jesus Christ. In which day, not only the apostate angels shall be judged, but likewise all persons that have lived upon earth shall appear before the tribunal of Christ to give an account of their thoughts, words, and deeds. The end of God’s appointing this day is for the manifestation of the glory of His mercy in the eternal salvation of the elect, and of His justice in the damnation of the reprobate. The righteous will go into everlasting life, and the wicked, who know not God and obey not the Gospel, shall be cast into eternal torment.
