SOCIAL ACTION

Calvin’s concept of the Christian life was as a militant pilgrimage leading safely home by a pre-destined path of service and suffering – as we fulfill our cultural calling. John Calvin stands out as one of the finest Bible scholars, one of the greatest systematic theologians, and one of the most profound religious thinkers in history. John Calvin was Bible-centered in his teaching, God-centered in his living, and Christ-centered in his Faith. The rigorous pursuit of moral righteousness, both personally and in society, was one of the primary features of Calvinism. Calvin made character a fundamental test of genuine Christianity and taught a dynamic social activism.
