Hosea 6:3 Let us acknowledge the LORD; let us press on to acknowledge him. As surely as the sun rises, he will appear; he will come to us like the winter rains,like the spring rains that water the earth."
If all are born and live for the express purpose of learning to know God, and if the knowledge of God, in so far as it fails to produce this effect, is fleeting and vain, it is clear that all those who do not direct the whole thoughts and actions of their lives to this end fail to fulfil the law of their being. (Inst. 1.3.3)
I like that when John Calvin writes "The express purpose of learning is to know God"...when we live our life and fail to live for that end, we fail to fulfill the law of our being...Awesome!..."the law of our being"..."The law of our being is to know God...any other pursuit is breaking the law of our being! ...well put, "the law of our being..."
