The Divine Authority and Sufficiency of the Christian Religion
Luke 16:19-31
There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:…


I. THE SUFFICIENCY OF THE STANDING REVELATION OF GOD'S WILL IN THE SCRIPTURES, TO BRING MEN TO REPENTENCE.

1. The Scriptures give us sufficient instructions what we should believe, or are a sufficient rule of faith.

2. The Scriptures give us complete directions in matters of practice, or are a sufficient rule of life.

3. The Scriptures are attended with sufficient evidence of their truth and divinity.

4. The religion of Jesus proposes sufficient excitements to influence our faith and practice.

II. THE VANITY AND UNREASONABLENESS OF THE OBJECTION AGAINST THE CHRISTIAN RELIGION, AND OF DEMANDING ANOTHER.
