More quotes by John Calvin
Without knowledge of self there is no knowledge of God.
John Calvin
We can experience joy in adverse circumstances by holding God's benefits in such esteem that the recognition of them and meditation upon them shall overcome all sorrow.
John Calvin
Those who set up a fictitious worship, merely worship and adore their own delirious fancies indeed, they would never dare so to trifle with God, had they not previously fashioned him after their own childish conceits.
John Calvin
All true knowledge of God is born out of obedience.
John Calvin
Lawful worship consists in obedience alone.
John Calvin
Without knowledge of self there is no knowledge of God Our wisdom, in so far as it ought to be deemed true and solid Wisdom, consists almost entirely of two parts: the knowledge of God and of ourselves. But as these are connected together by many ties, it is not easy to determine which of the two precedes and gives birth to the other.
John Calvin
A man will be justified by faith when, excluded from righteousness of works, he by faith lays hold of the righteousness of Christ, and clothed in it, appears in the sight of God not as a sinner, but as righteous.
John Calvin
Integrity is the best of all protectors...we cannot be more secure than when fortified by a good conscience.
John Calvin

John Calvin
The blindness of unbelievers in no way detracts from the clarity of the gospel the sun is no less bright because blind men do not perceive its light.
John Calvin
All things being at God's disposal, and the decision of salvation or death belonging to him, he orders all things by his counsel and decree in such a manner, that some men are born devoted from the womb to certain death, that his name may be glorified in their destruction.
John Calvin
When we see that the whole sum of our salvation, and every single part of it, are comprehended in Christ, we must beware of deriving even the minutest portion of it from any other quarter.
John Calvin
All men were created to busy themselves with the labor for the common good.
John Calvin
Everyone flatters himself and carries a kingdom in his breast.
John Calvin
It is a promise which eminently deserves our observation that all who are united to Christ and acknowledge Him to be Christ and Mediator will remain to the end safe from all danger, for what is said of the body of the Church belongs to each of its members since they are one in Christ.
John Calvin
If people mean that man has in himself the power to work in partnership with God's grace they are most wretchedly deluding themselves.
John Calvin
Because I know that I am not my own master, I offer my heart as a true sacrifice to the Lord.
John Calvin
Doctrine is not an affair of the tongue but of the life.
John Calvin
Faith and patience are exceptional virtues in those that suffer. Patience is the fruit and evidence of faith.
John Calvin
