Article 2

That there is a God, who is the Creator, Governor, and Judge of the world, which is to be received by faith, and every other way of the knowledge of him is insufficient (Hebrews 11:3).

Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

Verse 6. But without faith it is impossible to please God; for he that comes to God, must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

Romans 1:19. Because that which may be known of God, is manifested in them, for God has showed it to them.

Verse 20. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and [illegible]; so that they are without excuse.

Verse 21. Because that when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful, but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

Verse 22. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, compared with—

1 Corinthians 1:21. For after that, in the wisdom of God, the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.

2 Thessalonians 1:8. To render vengeance on them that knew not God, and that obey not the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.
