Reformed Wisdom

On Acts 3:18 –

“Do not think that just because you have the word ‘penitence’ you are truly repentant. You have to be mortified. You must cease to be yourselves. You must no longer pursue those things which seem good to you. You must be completely submissive to God, hear his teaching, and allow him to be master over you. In short, you must be like new creatures. That is the disposition of a man who truly wants to repent” – John Calvin, Sermons on the Acts of the Apostles, Chapters 1-7, 103.
