Calvin is
abundantly clear on how the Word is to be understood, and teaches us that the
plain meaning of the text is the true one.
Beware of those who will try to twist the Gospel and make it say what
God never intended it to say. One very
clear example of this is where some clever men try to make Jn,3:16 say that the
“world” that God loved is “the world of the elect.” Calvin will have none of
it. Take the plain meaning of the text
and trust it! These men shred the word
of God to the own destruction. But Calvin
will not do that!
By reading
Calvin, you will be taken straight to the Scriptures, and the Scriptures will
lead you directly to Christ. Don’t
imagine that you have to be a scholar to be able to understand the Bible. God’s Spirit is in every Christian, and He
will guide you into all truth.
