Scottish Confession of Faith

The Scottish Confession of Faith, written in 1560, is a historic statement of Protestant beliefs created during the Scottish Reformation. It summarizes core Christian doctrines such as the nature of God, salvation through Jesus Christ, and the authority of the Bible. The confession emphasizes God's sovereignty, the importance of faith, and the need for moral living. It aimed to define Scottish Christian identity, promote unity among believers, and distinguish their beliefs from Catholic doctrines. The document remains an important part of Scottish Presbyterian tradition, serving as a doctrinal foundation for many churches in Scotland and beyond.
