| | | John Calvin On Living a Holy Life
From John Calvin's Commentary on Timothy, Titus, and Philemon:
Titus 2:11 Quote:
11 For the grace of God hath appeared,
[Paul] argues from the design of redemption, which he shews to be a desire to live a godly and upright life. Hence it follows, that the duty of a good teacher is rather to exhort to a holy life than to occupy the minds of men with useless questions. “He hath redeemed us,” says Zacharias in his song, —
“that we may serve him in holiness and righteousness
all the days of our life.” (Luke 1:74, 75.)
For the same reason Paul says, the grace of God hath appeared, teaching us; for he means that it ought to hold the place of instruction to us to regulate our life well. What is proclaimed concerning the mercy of God is seized by some as all occasion of licentiousness; while others are hindered by slothfulness from meditating on “newness of life.” But the manifestation of the grace of God unavoidably carries along with it exhortations to a holy life.
