“The whole life of Christians ought to be an exercise of piety, since they are called to sanctification. It is the office of the law to remind them of their duty and thereby to excite them to the pursuit of holiness and integrity. But when their consciences are solicitous how God may be propitiated, what answer they shall make, and on what they shall rest their confidence, if called to his tribunal, there must then be no consideration of the requisitions of the law, but Christ alone must be proposed for righteousness, who exceeds all the perfection of the law.” IfsMayWholeChristianLawChristAnswersDutyOughtExerciseIntegrityOfficeConsciencePerfectionWhole LifePursuitHolinessConsiderationRighteousnessExceedPietySanctificationTribunalsChrist Alone Book:On God and Political Duty: Calvin Source: On God and Political Duty: Calvin
“Conversion is not a repairing of the old building, but it takes all down, and erects a new structure... The sincere Christian is quite a new fabric, from the foundation to the top-stone. He is a new man, a new creature; all things are become new. Conversion is a deep work, a heart work. It makes a new man in a new world. It extends to the whole man, to the mind, to the members, to the motions of the whole life.” MenWorldMindHeartWholeChristianBuildingCreaturesMembersAll ThingsStonesDown AndFoundationStructureWhole LifeConversionWorking ItSincereNew WorldFabricRepairingOld Buildings Author:Joseph Alleine
