The Sun vs. The Sun's Rays: Calvin

The Sun vs. The Sun's Rays: Calvin

"for though faith is confirmed by all the graces of God as aids, yet it ceases not to have its foundation in the mercy of God only. As for instance, when we enjoy the light, we are certain that the sun shines; if the sun shines on the place in which we are, we have a clearer view of it; but yet when the visible rays do not come to us, we are satisfied that the sun diffuses its brightness for our benefit. So when faith is founded on Christ, some things may happen to assist it, still it rests on Christ’s grace alone."

1 John 3:14We know that we have passed from death to life because we love our brothers. The one who does not love remains in death.
