Brief Statement of the Evidences and Uses of Divine Revelation

In this article, McLeod argues that while reason points humanity toward the existence of God, it cannot provide certainty concerning salvation or eternal life. God has therefore graciously given Scripture as a divine revelation, confirmed by historical testimony, fulfilled prophecy, its moral excellence, and its transforming power. McLeod then expounds 2 Timothy 3:16, showing that Scripture is profitable for doctrine, reproof, correction, and instruction, thoroughly equipping believers to know, obey, and glorify God.

McLeod was an important leader both in the Reformed Presbyterian Church of North America. He played a significant role in shaping the theological identity of the RPCNA in America, particularly in articulating its views on Christ’s mediatorial kingship, the authority of Scripture, and the church’s relationship to civil government. His published sermons, theological essays, and polemical works helped define the denomination’s doctrinal distinctives during a formative period.
