Food that is Unsanctified
May 8, 2021•89 words
Accordingly, Paul tells us, that every kind of food which God bestows upon us is sanctified by the word of God and prayer, (1 Timothy 4:5;) by which he means, that brutal men, who do not regard by faith the blessing of God, and do not offer to him thanksgiving, corrupt and pollute by the filth of their unbelief all that is by nature pure; and, on the other hand, that they are corrupted and defiled by the food which they swallow, because to unbelievers nothing is clean.
—John Calvin
