Calvin's Institutes: June 2

Podcast DescriptionIn a world that loves to twist the gospel, John Calvin directly confronts the most common attacks on the doctrine of justification by faith alone. He shows that far from destroying good works or encouraging sin, this teaching alone establishes true holiness, because Christ cannot be divided—where there is justification, there is also sanctification. Paired with Augustine’s profound reflection on finding God in the truth, and Aquinas’s sharp warnings against sins of speech that destroy charity, this episode calls us back to a robust, grace-centered faith that produces real fruit.Today’s Readings: John Calvin — Institutes of the Christian Religion Book 3, Chapter 16 Augustine — The Confessions, Book 10, Chapter 24 (Section 35) Thomas Aquinas — Summa Theologica, Part 2–2, Questions 74–76 ---Explore the Project: Through the Church Fathers – https://www.throughthechurchfathers.com Patreon – https://www.patreon.com/cmichaelpatton Credo Courses – https://www.credocourses.com Credo Ministries – https://www.credoministries.org #JustificationByFaith #GoodWorks #JohnCalvin #GraceAlone #ThroughTheChurchFathers
