Why do the wicked flourish while the righteous suffer? In Institutes of the Christian Religion (1.5.10), John Calvin exposes the spiritual blindness of the ungodly, who fail to recognize God’s providential rule over all things. Drawing from Psalm 92:6—"A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this."—Calvin rebukes those who ignore God’s justice and mistake the fleeting prosperity of sinners for divine favour.

In this episode, we dive deep into Calvin’s commentary on Psalm 92, his Institutes, and his sermons, revealing how God’s justice triumphs in the end. The wicked may thrive for a moment, but their doom is sealed. Meanwhile, the righteous, though afflicted, are upheld by God’s eternal wisdom.

🔥 Topics Covered:
✔️ Calvin’s theology on divine justice
✔️ Why the wicked seem to prosper
✔️ The folly of ignoring God’s providence
✔️ How the faithful should respond to suffering
✔️ The ultimate justice of God in history
