He was wrong.
No, he wasn’t wrong. Calvin was very right.
How? Please supply Scriptures.
The whole sentence - I love Paul’s long sentences. I write like that without commas and get in trouble!
Ephesians 2
1Also you — being dead in the trespasses and the sins,
2in which once ye did walk according to the age of this world, according to the ruler of the authority of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience,
3among whom also we all did walk once in the desires of our flesh, doing the wishes of the flesh and of the thoughts, and were by nature children of wrath — as also the others,
4and God, being rich in kindness, because of His great love with which He loved us,
5even being dead in the trespasses, did make us to live together with the Christ, (by grace ye are having been saved,)
6and did raise [us] up together, and did seat [us] together in the heavenly [places] in Christ Jesus,
7that He might show, in the ages that are coming, the exceeding riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus,
8for by grace ye are having been saved, through faith, and this not of you — of God the gift,
9not of works, that no one may boast;
10for of Him we are workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to good works, which God did before prepare, that in them we may walk.
Even our good works were prepared for us.
Well, you and I will have to differ there. The mottoes of the Reformation were Sola Scriptura, Solo Christo, Sole Fidele: “the Bible alone,” “Christ alone,” “Faith alone.”
In other words, our only authority is the Bible, our only Mediator is Christ, and we are saved by faith in Him alone, not by our own works, lest any man should boast.
