Calvin's Institutes: May 29
from John Calvin's Institutes in a Year
Podcast DescriptionIn a world obsessed with self-improvement and moral performance, John Calvin delivers a sobering and liberating diagnosis: apart from Christ, even our best virtues are tainted at the root. Continuing through this pivotal chapter, he dismantles the fiction of partial righteousness, works of supererogation, and any boasting in human effort, showing that we remain unprofitable servants and that our salvation rests entirely on God’s mercy through faith in Christ.Today’s Readings: John Calvin — Institutes of the Christian Religion Book 3, Chapter 14, Sections 13–17 Augustine — The Confessions, Book X, Chapter X (Sections X–X) Thomas Aquinas — Summa Theologica, Part X, Question X (Articles X–X) ---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 #GraceAlone #JustificationByFaith #JohnCalvin #InstitutesOfTheChristianReligion #ReformedTheology #ThroughTheChurchFathers
