“The Holy Scriptures are the sole source and authority of the Church’s teaching, and amply sufficient for all ordinary purposes of instruction; but when that which the Holy Scriptures teach is called into question, it is the Church’s duty, in all ages, as a witness to the truth and set for its defense, to give clear and unmistakable testimony as to what is the meaning of God’s Word on the subjects under discussion.

“What the Church has once confessed, with respect to questions of more than merely temporary or local significance, becomes a part of her very life. If it be what the Confession declares that it is, the very truth of God’s Word, expressed in terms so clear and unambiguous as to guard against all misunderstanding, the Church of the future cannot be indifferent to it, but cherishes it as a sacred trust (‘the deposit,’ 1 Tim. 6:20), which is to be transmitted to posterity that later generations may be profited by the experience of their predecessors.” — Henry Eyster Jacobs
