THE CREED: Westminster Confession of Faith
In the gospel God declares His love for the world and His desire
that all humanity should be saved; reveals fully and clearly the
only way of salvation; promises eternal life to all who truly repent
and believe in Christ; invites and commands all to embrace the
offered mercy; and by His Spirit accompanying the Word pleads
with men and women to accept His gracious invitation.

and effective. Elijah was a human being like us, and he prayed fervently
that it might not rain, and for three years and six months it did not rain on
the earth. Then he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain and the earth
yielded its harvest.
Matthew 16:13–20 | Pew Bible page 798
Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, He asked
His disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” And they said,
“Some say John the Baptist, but others Elijah, and still others Jeremiah or
one of the prophets.” He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”
Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”
And Jesus answered him, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah! For flesh
and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father in heaven. And I tell
you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates
of Hades will not prevail against it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom
of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and
whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” Then He sternly
ordered the disciples not to tell anyone that He was the Messiah.
