Welcome to our historical works series, where we bring you different writings from the past to edify you. This one is entitled "More Than a Calvinist" by John Newton. We are blessed to have found this free resource available in print from Chapel Library. Please consider supporting their work.

John Newton's profound reflections in "More than a Calvinist" challenge us to examine the disparity between our theological knowledge and our lived experience. He warns of the temptation to view ourselves as superior, particularly when our beliefs are challenged by others. Newton emphasizes the importance of humility, noting that true understanding is not merely intellectual but should influence our conduct and spiritual life. Despite our conviction of God's omnipresence and sovereignty, we often fail to live in a manner consistent with these truths, revealing our inherent weakness and reliance on divine grace. Newton's insights remind us that the essence of faith lies in acknowledging our limitations and depending wholly on the Lord's strength. Through this lens, he invites believers to pursue a deeper, experiential knowledge of God that transcends mere doctrinal correctness, urging us to humble ourselves before Him and to trust in His wisdom and guidance in all circumstances.
