Today is John Calvin’s 500th birthday!!!

There is much that could be said about Calvin – his life, his theology, and his enduring legacy (which we benefit from today). Calvin was arguably the most influential man of his millennium! And his doctrines of God’s sovereignty, human depravity, and Grace STILL edify and instruct Christians.

I recently bought Calvin’s definitive work, “Institutes of the Christian Religion”, and have found it very good! The pages are loaded with meat, and packed full of scripture.

Sola Scriptura! (By Scripture alone)
Sola Fide! (By Faith alone)
Sola Gratia! (By Grace alone)
Solo Christo! (Through Christ alone)
Soli Deo Gloria! (Glory to God alone)
