Calvin's Institutes: June 4

Podcast DescriptionWhat is the relationship between law, gospel, and good works? Today we continue exploring the heart of the Christian faith. Tertullian sharply warns that philosophy is the mother of heresies and urges us to hold fast to apostolic truth. Augustine reveals the deep joy of finding God as the Truth who satisfies the soul. And John Calvin masterfully reconciles the promises of the law with the gospel of grace, showing that justification by faith alone does not destroy good works but establishes them firmly in Christ.Today’s Readings: Tertullian — Prescription Against Heretics, Chapters 7–9Augustine — The Confessions, Book 10, Chapter 24 (Section 35)John Calvin — Institutes of the Christian Religion, Book 3, Chapter 17 — The Promises of the Law and the Gospel Reconciled (Sections 1–5)Explore the Project: Through the Church Fathers – https://www.throughthechurchfathers.comPatreon – https://www.patreon.com/cmichaelpattonCredo Courses – https://www.credocourses.comCredo Ministries – https://www.credoministries.org#JustificationByFaith #GraceAndLaw #GoodWorks #Tertullian #Augustine #JohnCalvin #ThroughTheChurchFathers
