“The end is two-fold: The first is, that our faith should be more and more strengthened towards the promise of grace which has been given by God, and concerning the truth and certainty of our being ingrafted into Christ. The second is, (1,) that believers may, by the remembrance of the death of Christ, testify their gratitude and obligation to God; (2,) that they may cultivate charity among themselves; and (3,) that by this mark they may be distinguished from unbelievers.” (Page 162)

Jacob Arminius was born in Oudewater, Holland in 1560. Arminius studied theology at the University of Leiden for five years, and then spent a year studying under Theodore Beza. Arminius was ordained at the age of 28 when he felt a distinct calling towards pastoral ministry. He became a popular preacher in Amsterdam where he also met and married his wife. Thirteen years later, he returned to teach at the University of Leiden, and there his classes and writings began to strongly challenge Calvinism. He died October 19, 1609, but his influence started an entire movement, Arminianism, and influenced many important theologians, including John Wesley.
