Although the persecution of Protestants in France led him in time to accentuate the apologetic nature of the book, the Institutes, as first published in 1536, remained a work of Christian instruction, intended, as Calvin says, for those who were ‘touched with some zeal for religion’, and principally for those among his French compatriots who ‘were hungering and thirsting for Christ’, and who ‘might be shaped to true godliness’.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo chapter better corresponds to the author’s original intention than that entitled ‘On the Christian Life’. It offered a clear, balanced set of directions and encouragements to all who desired to live according to the gospel. Strong in its theological affirmation of God’s righteousness and providential care, of the reconciliation won for us by Christ and of the Holy Spirit’s work of sanctification, it was equally strong in its pastoral concern for believers who were beset by their own weakness and sin, who daily endured trial and temptation and who nevertheless, united to Christ by faith, shared in his life and tasted his power. The Christian life, as Calvin describes it, is lived simultaneously in the shadow of the cross and in the bright light of the resurrection. That the writer himself knew something of the cost of discipleship is clear from a consideration of his own experience. The distress of exile, the burden of poverty, the hurt of slander and misrepresentation, the threat of physical harm, were all things he knew at first hand. Farel, Calvin’s colleague, rightly calls him ‘my good, true brother, who is a partner in the cross of Jesus,... a man active and upright in the work of the gospel.’ The author who speaks in the Institutes about the pressures of Christian living is no armchair moralist, nor is he an unyielding Stoic for whom overt displays of emotion are a grave weakness. For Calvin tears as well as joy have a valid and necessary place: to be devoid of feeling is to be no better than a stone or block of wood. The essential thing is that, in good times and in bad, we continue to trust God who through grace has adopted us as his children, who quickens and comforts us by his Spirit, and who bids us persevere in well-doing until our life’s end.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e168 pages\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca title=\"A Guide to Christian Living\" href=\"https\/\/banneroftruth.org\/media\/flippingbook\/GuidetoChristianLiving\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eView excerpt here\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Banner of Truth","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":15390166089771,"sku":"9781848710405","price":29.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2773\/2624\/products\/GuideToChristianLiving_da988ec7-312b-4271-8244-a3a399703459.jpg?v=1636078791"},{"product_id":"9780851512969-the-practical-implications-of-calvinism-martin-a-n","title":"The Practical Implications of Calvinism","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEndorsement\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e‘A lot of folks need to read The Practical Implications of Calvinism.

Piety, covenant, and experience are all interrelated in genuine and vital Christianity, and all point to Jesus Christ as the head of the covenant and the focal point of true Christian experience.  This book is intended as Geoff Thomas says in his Foreword to encourage us \"towards Reformed experiential living reflecting something of the Christian’s affection for God, loving Him with all his being, a servant truly on flame for his Lord, who cries, ‘For me to live is Christ’—who is presenting his body as a living sacrifice to God, who like John the Baptist has an awakening ministry, as a burning and a shining light... most needful of all is a close walk with God, a consecration of all we are to all that Jesus Christ is. That must be the one thing we do as Christians, not talking about it, or longing for it, but making progress in appropriating it each day of our lives, in the pulpit, in the home.... The words of this little book will help you to be a better disciple in our short and uncertain earthly pilgrimage.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJoel Beeke says: In this little book, I aim to accomplish four things: First, to give you a bird’s eye view of what Reformed piety is by looking at Calvin as one of its premier magisterial representatives. Second, to examine how we understand what Reformed piety should be in relation to the covenant of grace. I wish to thank my colleague Dr. Stephen Myers (PhD), Associate Professor of Historical Studies at Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary, who did the heavy lifting on this chapter for me—hence the co-authorship of this book. Having done his doctoral dissertation on Ebenezer Erskine’s covenant theology, he is eminently qualified to write this chapter. Third, to consider what Reformed piety should be in the context of Christian experience. Finally, to present some conclusions that explore the interface between these three concepts in Reformed thought: piety, covenant, and experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e48 pages\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Evangelical Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":16198966181931,"sku":"9781783972487","price":9.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2773\/2624\/products\/9781783972487-reformed-piety-covenantal-and-experiential-stephen-g-meyers-joel-r-beeke.jpg?v=1600051295"},{"product_id":"9781601780843-calvin-for-today-beeke-joel-r-ed","title":"Calvin for Today","description":"\u003cp\u003eCalvin for the 21st Century is an edited compilation of the stimulating addresses given at the Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary’s annual conference in August 2009, at Grand Rapids, Michigan.
