Calvin on Faith and Justification

Calvin on Faith and Justification

Faith is not only union with Christ, but faith is also an activity. As a good teacher, distinguishing well, Calvin gives a clear definition of faith: “Now we shall possess a right definition of faith if we call it a firm and certain knowledge of God’s benevolence toward us, founded upon the truth of the freely given promise in Christ, both revealed to our minds and sealed upon our hearts through the Holy Spirit.

Grace and Peace

Grace and Peace

How great a blessing is peace in the church—peace between saint and saint, between husband and wife, between parents and children, between officebearers and members, between ministers and sheep—all flowing as a river of peace from the peace between God and his people. A church torn by controversy, characterized by bickering and jealousy, constantly plagued by division and sectarianism, is unable to perform the great task of manifesting in the world the cause of Christ. It is also the laughingstock of neighbors and the object of ridicule and scorn by those who know what goes on among the members. But a church where peace is a living reality is blessed with joy, happiness, love, and unity. When the minister pronounces this benediction of Paul in the worship services and the people of God appropriate that word of God by faith, that congregation is blessed! No wonder we are called to strive earnestly for the unity of the Spirit (Eph. 4:1–3) and pray for the peace of Jerusalem (Ps. 122:6–9).
