Article VII: Of the Old Testament

Fr. Andrew's sermon on Article VII of The 39 Articles of Religion: Of the Old Testament, preached on the Second Sunday before Lent, or Sexagesima (2.8.2026)."The Old Testament is not contrary to the New, for both in the Old and New Testament everlasting life is offered to mankind by Christ, who is the only Mediator between God and man, being both God and man. Wherefore they are not to be heard which feign that the old Fathers did look only for transitory promises. Although the Law given from God by Moses, as touching ceremonies and rites, do not bind Christian men, nor the civil precepts thereof ought of necessity to be received in any commonwealth, yet not withstanding, no Christian man whatsoever is free from the obedience of the commandments which are called moral."
