Worship That Smells: Calvin on Genesis 8

By Filings on Tue, 09/17/19
Church & Ministry
Worship
John Calvin

“We should not, however, conclude that any old act of worship informed by faith is pleasing to God. The second ingredient — also absolutely essential — to sweet-smelling worship is careful attention to God’s own instructions regarding how he wishes to be worshiped. Calvin admits that no explicit command to Noah to offer sacrifices is discovered in the biblical text, but nevertheless argues that Noah ‘rested upon the word of God, and… in reliance on the divine command… rendered this worship, which he knew, indubitably, would be acceptable to God.’” - Ref21
