And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.

This devotional book, written for the purpose of teaching Christians how to live out their faith, is divided into five sections. First, Calvin tells us that every follower of Christ loves righteousness and is called to righteousness. The following chapters suggest ways to go about seeking righteousness. In answering Christ’s call to live rightly, Calvin stresses the importance of constant patience and clinging to the grace given through Christ’s death and resurrection. As Christians seek to order their lives around these principles, they must meditate upon God’s plan for the future and how to make that future a reality. Finally, Calvin proposes a few ways how each person can bring God’s grace to a fallen world and avoid abusing their roles as representatives of God to that world. This very brief text can serve as a short introduction to Calvin’s thought for any who wish to broaden their general knowledge or set out on a path of more involved study.

Two Views of Life – Martyn Lloyd-Jones / Christian Audio Sermons
1 Peter 4:1-5 Stewards of God’s Grace Since therefore Christ suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves with the same way of thinking, for whoever has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, so as to live for the rest of the time in the flesh no longer for human passions but for the will of God. For the time that is past suffices for doing what the Gentiles want to do, living in sensuality, passions, drunkenness, orgies, drinking parties, and lawless idolatry. With respect to this they are surprised when you do not join them in the same flood of debauchery, and they malign you; but they will give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.
