1 | Encroachment of Superstition | Matt 6:18 | DocTrinsograce | 201913 | ||
"But the first thing always to be avoided is, the encroachment of superstition, as formerly happened, to the great injury of the Church... Fasting in itself is not of great value in the sight of God, unless accompanied with internal affection of the heart, true dissatisfaction with sin and with one's self, true humiliation, and true grief, from the fear of God; nay, that fasting is useful for no other reason than because it is added to these as an inferior help. There is nothing which God more abominates than when men endeavor to cloak themselves by substituting signs and external appearance for integrity of heart... Another evil akin to this, and greatly to be avoided, is, to regard fasting as a meritorious work [earns credit from God] and species [form] of divine worship." --John Calvin | ||||||
