Paragraph 2.2

Of the Second London Baptist Confession of Faith

God, having all life,⁠1 glory,⁠2 goodness,⁠3 blessedness, in and of Himself, is alone in and unto Himself all-sufficient, not standing in need of any creature which He hath made, nor deriving any glory from them,⁠4 but only manifesting His own glory in, by, unto, and upon them; He is the alone fountain of all being, of whom, through whom, and to whom are all things,⁠5 and He hath most sovereign dominion over all creatures, to do by them, for them, or upon them, whatsoever Himself pleaseth;⁠6 in His sight all things are open and manifest,⁠7 His knowledge is infinite, infallible, and independent upon the creature, so as nothing is to Him contingent or uncertain;⁠8 He is most holy in all His counsels, in all His works,⁠9 and in all His commands; to Him is due from angels and men, whatsoever worship,⁠10 service, or obedience, as creatures they owe unto the Creator, and whatever He is further pleased to require of them.⁠

The Westminster Confession of Faith (1646)

2.2

God hath all life,⁠1 glory,⁠2 goodness,⁠3 blessedness,⁠4 in and of himself; and is alone in and unto himself all-sufficient, not standing in need of any creatures which he hath made,⁠5 nor deriving any glory from them,⁠6 but only manifesting his own glory in, by, unto, and upon them: he is the alone fountain of all being, of whom, through whom, and to whom are all things;⁠7 and hath most sovereign dominion over them, to do by them, for them, or upon them whatsoever himself pleaseth.⁠8 In his sight all things are open and manifest;⁠9 his knowledge is infinite, infallible, and independent upon the creature;⁠10 so as nothing is to him contingent or uncertain.⁠11 He is most holy in all his counsels, in all his works, and in all his commands.⁠12 To him is due from angels and men, and every other creature, whatsoever worship, service, or obedience, he is pleased to require of them.⁠13
