Paragraph 8.8

Of the Second London Baptist Confession of Faith

To all those for whom Christ has obtained eternal redemption, He does certainly and effectually apply and communicate the same, making intercession for them;⁠1 uniting them to Himself by His Spirit, revealing to them, in and by His Word, the mystery of salvation, persuading them to believe and obey,⁠2 governing their hearts by His Word and Spirit,⁠3 and overcoming all their enemies by His almighty power and wisdom,⁠4 in such manner and ways as are most consonant to His wonderful and unsearchable dispensation; and all of free and absolute grace, without any condition foreseen in them to procure it.⁠5
