Let us ever seek grace to live by the rule of the gospel we preach, honoring God in all things; but do not imagine that you can preach the gospel by the way you live. — You can only preach the gospel by declaring it.

The world did not see Christ in Christ and did not see holiness in the Holy One, but crucified him as a vile and wicked man. Don’t ever imagine that the world will see Christ or holiness in you.

Don’t ever attempt to show the world that you are a Christian, or that you are righteous, or that you are godly, or even that you are different from others. Lost people cannot see godliness.

The works by which Abraham and Rahab showed their faith (James 2:21-25) were works seen by no one except God. Even so, the works by which we show our faith are works seen by God alone. Others may benefit from them, but God alone sees them, and sees them as works of faith.

Show your faith by your works, as God the Holy Ghost teaches us to do (James 2:18); but don’t ever attempt show your faith to men. They can’t see it.

Let us seek grace to live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present evil world, to live as sinners saved by the grace of God, to live for God and to the glory of God; but let us never attempt to show the world that we are Christians. The show of religion our Savior expressly forbids (Matthew 6:5-18).

God declares things to be what they are manifestly made to be before he makes them to be what he makes them to be (Romans 4:17).

God enriches his saints by poverty, strengthens them by weakness, makes them healthy by sickness, and lifts them up by abasing them.

The beginning and end of the faithful pastor’s work is to know Christ and to make him known. To that great work God’s servant must give himself entirely, and delights to do so.
For the Love of His Truth 
Most opponents of Reformed Theology hate Calvin, the principal adversary being the Roman Catholic Church because Reformed theology created the main danger to the Roman Catholic Kingdom with its immense wealth and earnings through manipulating members. So what do you do, then, you spread defamations. These are the same lies that anti-reformers use today to discredit the greatest revival that ever was and will be. Yet, historical truth tells a different story.
Servetus was already condemned to death by the RC church for heresy. He denied the Trinity, said that God is a three headed hound and with this blasphemy created Civil unrest. It was this Civil disobedience that condemned him. Eight Cities in Switzerland also put the stamp of authorization on his sentence to the stake for Civil unrest. It was a Civic court that sentenced him. Farell and Calvin pleaded with him for repentance and the authorities for leniency. The Civil authorities did ask Calvin only for advice concerning Servetus’ theology.
Servetus was not a martyr that could walk proudly with his head held high to the stake like true Christian Martyrs, but died screaming. He was not slowly roasted with green wood for 3 hours. The smoke at least would have killed him in ten minutes. They did not hang gun powder around his neck to prolong his death and agony; it was the will of family to hang gun powder around necks of family so that they can die sooner. As happened to Ridley in England who told his friend on the stake: “Today a candle will be lit that will burn for ever. Play the man” They died with honour for the Truth.
This is the Truth and for a detailed article in Afrikaans:

Nico,
Thank you for your comment and link. Yes, the olle Servetus story has become an Ad nauseam subject on social media. And those Doctrines of Grace haters the will worshippers will always bring up the subject that “Calvin murdered Servetus’ and others. Fact is Calvin did not burn Servetus like a steak (tongue in cheek) These will worshippers, have never read the history books to see what really took place in the days in Geneva.
I liked the way Jerry explained it short and to the point in the video clip.
Fact is Servetus was in the wrong and a heretic, but the will worshippers will always have a stone to throw. Few of them even do the trouble to read the Fox’s Book of Martyrs, nevermind reading the correct history books about the days of Calvin.
