Calvin's Institutes: February 8

John Calvin's Institutes in a Year by Christopher Michael Patton

Episode notes

Providence is not God watching the world from a distance—it is God holding the helm, governing every moment, every creature, and every detail down to the sparrow and the numbered hair, which means that what looks like “chance” is actually the hidden wisdom of the Father at work for his own ends (Hebrews 11:3; Matthew 10:30; Psalm 33:6, 13; Psalm 104:27–30; Acts 17:28; Psalm 115:3; Jeremiah 10:2).

Readings:

John Calvin, Institutes of the Christian Religion, Book 1, Chapter 16 (Sections 1–3)
