Calvin believed that God’s likeness revealed in the
“beautiful form of the universe” is insufficiently effective” to give human
beings guidance towards Him. This guidance is provided by God’s Word of
Scripture. How do you respond to those
who say that they know God through the landscape of the hills or the starry
night sky and pay no attention to the scriptures?
Calvin describes our world as an “inexplicable labyrinth”
unless we are directed into it through the “thread of the Word” and uses the
example of David calling God “regnant” (Psalm 93:1, 96:10) as not his power but
doctrine through which God exerts sovereignty.
What part of the labyrinth has been unravelled for you by the power of
God’s Holy Word.
