It was interesting to know these very significant people in history
namely Erasmus, Zwingli, and Calvin. Before I studied the subject, I
just heard these names from my teachers and classmates before but I
really did not know who they really were. I was thankful because I
knew these people because of having the interest to know and learn
from their lives. I knew who they were, their contributions, and
their impact in our history. But the person that strucked me the most
was John Calvin. When one of my classmates asked question who was JC?
At first, I was confused who was JC but when she told us that it was
John Calvin, all I remembered about him was that he was an author and
our very known belief today called “TULIP.” As we all know that
he was against Arius because of some beliefs that were different from
his. It is just inspiring and encouraging to know that in our
history, we had John Calvin as one of the very well-known theologian
in his time. He was very loyal to what the Scriptures said and be
able to obey them.
As I put on my shoe to Calvin's, it was very different because in
his time, he was very known and was successful man knowing that he
wrote many books. Unlike me, I am not that well-known and not yet
successful in terms of career. But I am grateful because even in our
differences, we still have commonalities like we believe in the Lord
Jesus Christ. I am influenced also with his beliefs about the
“TULIP.” I can somehow see myself in the life of Calvin because I
will stand to what I believe in. I am more determined to stand and to
tell others what is the truth. The life of Calvin encourages me to
really pursue what I am doing now and be willing to learn more just
like him.
In knowing John Calvin more, the things that I will gonna do are to
share the love of God to other people, to tell to them the truth, and
obey what God commanded in His Word. I am encouraged also that I will
give an impact to people's lives, an impact that is memorable, and
the impact that I will leave to them will become a good testimony.
And because of this, people will praise and glorify God because of my
life that becomes a blessing to them.
