Calvin's Institutes: June 5

Podcast DescriptionHow do we reconcile the law and the gospel? Today we continue a rich conversation across the centuries. Tertullian exposes how pagan philosophy corrupts Christian truth and breeds heresies. Augustine shows us that the happy life is found only in joy in the Truth who is God Himself. And John Calvin carefully reconciles the promises of the law with the gospel of free justification, demonstrating that faith alone does not abolish good works but establishes them on the firm foundation of 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 6–13)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 #LawAndGospel #GraceAlone #Tertullian #Augustine #JohnCalvin #ThroughTheChurchFathers
