If we believe that Presbyterianism is comparatively the more scriptural system, the duty is obvious, to promote its growth with all our might (J. A. Waddell, Letters to a Young Presbyterian, 6).

We do not imagine that our judgment is infallible. We do not claim perfection for the Presbyterian system. But some planets are nearer than others to the sun, and some churches are more closely conformed to the Bible than others. Comparative proximity is our claim, and not an exclusive right to the entire firmament (J. A. Waddell, Letters to a Young Presbyterian, 6).

Westminster Larger Catechism Question 40

Q. Why was it requisite that the Mediator should be God and man in one person? A. It was requisite that the Mediator, who was to reconcile God and man, should himself be both God and man, and this in one person, that the proper works of each nature might be accepted of God for us, and relied on by us, as the works of the whole person.

Calvin made the same point discussing Romans 1:3.

Who was made, etc. — Two things must be found in Christ, in order that we may obtain salvation in him, even divinity and humanity. His divinity possesses power, righteousness, life, which by his humanity are conveyed to us. Hence the Apostle has expressly mentioned both in the Summary he gives of the gospel, that Christ was manifested in the flesh — and that in it he declared himself to be the Son of God. [source]

John Calvin’s comment on Romans 1:3.

This is a remarkable passage, by which we are taught that the whole gospel is included in Christ, so that if any removes one step from Christ, he withdraws himself from the gospel.

Notwithstanding the unambiguous manner in which Jesus commands that little children should be brought to Him and that no obstacle should be placed in their way on coming to Him, it still continues to be the great weakness of most Protestant churches that spiritual ministration to children is taken in hand far too superficially. Jesus said: “Suffer little children to come unto me” [Luke 18:16], but in the life of the church too often nearly ninety-nine per cent of its time, money and strength is devoted to ministration to adults, whereas to children is devoted only a fatally insignificant portion. Only those congregations which, by means of thorough training of Sunday-school teachers, regular and effective services for children, Sunday-school libraries, etc., take heed that the command of the Saviour is obeyed can hope to be flourishing congregations in the future (Norval Geldenhuys, NICNT: Gospel of Luke, 455).

Thus, faith believes that God is true; hope expects that in due season he will manifest his truth. Faith believes that he is our Father; hope expects that he will always act the part to us; hope expects that it will one day be revealed. Faith is the foundation on which hope rests; hope nourishes and sustains faith (John Calvin, Institutes of the Christian Religion (Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 1989), 506).

Examine yourself closely, for goats are often found amid the sheep. Be honest with yourself. Is the Shepherd-Lord everything to you? Is He the foundation of your hope, the object of your faith, the center of your love, the guarantee of your safety, and the pledge of your prosperity? Can you say that you belong to the covenant of grace, which is “the way by which God through Christ becomes the property of the sinner and the sinner the property of God”? (Joel R. Beeke, The Lord Shepherding His Sheep, 31).

“The LORD is my shepherd,” say God’s children as they begin, continue, and end with the Lord alone. Self falls away. “The LORD” becomes the motto of their lives. He is their all-in-all, their heaven on earth. They receive grace to learn with David that the defining moments in life are when self is pushed to the background and the Lord comes to the foreground. The words “the LORD” are the foundation of Psalm 23 as well as the entire Word of God (Joel R. Beeke, The Lord Shepherding His Sheep, 18).

“I am a Tariff Man. When people or countries come in to raid the great wealth of our Nation, I want them to pay for the privilege of doing so. It will always be the best way to max out our economic power. We are right now taking in $billions in Tariffs. MAKE AMERICA RICH AGAIN.” (President Trump 12/4/18 Tweet)

“I literally actually can barely read it because there are so many problems with that tweet.” — David L. Bahnsen (start at minute mark 2:30)
