The Bible Our Sufficient Creed
By O. D. Eastman
DEAR BRO. WHITE:—Having had some opportunity of reading your paper, "The Advent Review," and of examining the leading doctrines it advocates in connection with others also given in the scriptures of truth. I have been much interested, instructed and blest; for I consider the Bible a sufficient creed, given for the foundation of our faith, and guide for our life. As "all Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: that the man of God may be perfect, &c. How vastly important is it now for us while living in the midst of so many unmistakable signs of Christ's immediate coming, that we take heed to all that God has given in his word to guide our feet in the path to life: that we may not be found wanting in that day. It is written 'Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city." We often wish we could meet with those of like precious faith in public worship, but in this we are denied the privilege, yet we hope by keeping the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus, we shall soon sit down at our Father's table, with all the redeemed to celebrate the marriage supper of the Lamb. Yours looking for Jesus. O. D. EASTMAN. N. H., Dec. 27th, 1854.
