Calvin's Institutes: June 16

Podcast DescriptionHow can we approach God in prayer when we feel so unworthy? John Calvin continues his masterful teaching on prayer with the fourth essential rule: even in deep humility, we must pray with confident hope. He shows how repentance and faith work together, how the saints prayed with both fear and trust, and how true prayer is always rooted in the assurance that God hears those who come to Him through Christ. These sections call us to reject doubt and approach the throne of grace with boldness grounded in God’s mercy.Today’s Readings:John Calvin — Institutes of the Christian Religion, Book 3, Chapter 20 — Of Prayer: A Perpetual Exercise of Faith.
