John Calvin
You must submit to supreme suffering in order to discover the completion of joy.
John Calvin
Human will does not by liberty obtain grace, but by grace obtains liberty.

Prosperity inebriates men, so that they take delights in their own merits.
John Calvin
When a certain shameless fellow mockingly asked a pious old man what God had done before the creation of the world the latter aptly countered that he had been building hell for the curious.
John Calvin
The Bible is the sceptre by which the Heavenly King rules His Church.
John Calvin
Faith is the evidence of divine adoption.
John Calvin
Free will is an empty term.
John Calvin
Thus the woman, who had perversely exceeded her proper bounds, is forced back to her own position. She had, indeed, previously been subject to her husband, but that was a liberal and gentle subjection now, however, she is cast into servitude.
John Calvin

John Calvin

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
Christ is the most perfect image of God, into which we are so renewed as to bear the image of God, in knowledge, purity, righteousness, and true holiness.
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 our faith is tested by suffering as gold is tried in a furnace and we depend with confidence on God and rely entirely on his help, we will be granted the most excellent gift of patience and through faith we may victoriously persevere to the end.
John Calvin
When pain and suffering strike, our faith is well founded if it is standing on the promises of God. For all of God's promises have strong confirmation in Christ.
John Calvin
They who prematurely put themselves forward to root out whatever is displeasing to them overthrow the judgment of God and rashly intrude upon the office of angels.
John Calvin
My heart I give you, Lord, eagerly and entirely.
John Calvin
If God were not to test us, there would be no patience.
John Calvin
