In this final episode of 2024, Dr. J. Mark Beach continues his exploration of John Calvin's insights on the Christian life and, more particularly, the concept of self-denial. Drawing from Calvin's Institutes of the Christian Religion, Dr. Beach unpacks what it truly means to deny oneself—both in relation to our neighbors and to God. Calvin presents a challenging vision of Christian living: a life marked by humility, love, and a radical reorientation away from self-centeredness. How do we esteem others above ourselves? What does it mean to resign our possessions and will to God's purpose? Dr. Beach guides us through Calvin's theological landscape, offering rich insights into taking up our cross and finding grace in our human frailty.
