John Calvin's Institutes in a Year by Christopher Michael Patton
Episode notes
Today’s Readings Podcast Description
Even after entering the Church, believers still carry the remains of sin and stand in daily need of forgiveness. In these sections from John Calvin’s Institutes, he shows that God’s mercy is not a one-time act but a continual reality that sustains us in the communion of the Church. The keys of the kingdom are given so that pardon is daily offered through the ministry of the word and sacraments. This truth comforts the godly and calls us to persevere in humility and repentance.
