Scripture: Now that you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth so that you have sincere love for each other, love one another deeply, from the heart. Observation: John Calvin said, “True knowledge of God is born out of obedience.” I’m a Wesleyan-Methodist Christian, not a Calvinist, but I agree with that assertion. Life in God involves hands-on training—an apprenticeship, not a classroom. We learn the Word of God for the purpose of transformation, not information. Transformation requires practicing new life, not only thinking about biblical truth.
