Living by Faith

“Let us also remember that we are all in the same condition as Abraham. Our circumstances are all in opposition to the promises of God: He promises us immortality; we are surrounded by mortality and corruption. He declares that he counts us just; yet we are covered with sins. He testifies that he is propitious and kind to us; yet outward signs threaten his wrath.

“What then are we to do? We must close our eyes, disregard ourselves and all things connected with us, that nothing may hinder or prevent us from believing that God is true.”

– John Calvin
