Seeing that a Pilot steers the ship in which we sail, who will never allow us to perish even in the midst of shipwrecks, there is no reason why our minds should be overwhelmed with fear and overcome with weariness.

More quotes by John Calvin
Faith is the evidence of divine adoption.
John Calvin
Knowledge of the sciences is so much smoke apart from the heavenly science of Christ.
John Calvin
Whensoever God's truth is defaced or when any man turns away from the pure simplicity of the Gospel, we must not in any wise spare him, but although the whole world should set itself against us, yet must we maintain the case with invincible constancy, without bending for any creature.
John Calvin
Free will is an empty term.
John Calvin
To know God as the sovereign disposer of all good, inviting us to present our requests, and yet not to approach or ask of him, were so far from availing us, that it were just as if one told of a treasure were to allow it to remain buried in the ground.
John Calvin
If God were not to test us, there would be no patience.
John Calvin
Let us not cease to do the utmost, that we may incessantly go forward in the way of the Lord and let us not despair of the smallness of our accomplishments.
John Calvin
Where riches hold the dominion of the heart, God has lost His authority.
John Calvin
Whomever the Lord has adopted and deemed worthy of His fellowship ought to prepare themselves for a hard, toilsome, and unquiet life, crammed with very many and various kinds of evil.
John Calvin
The principle exercise which the children of god have is to pray. For in this way they give true proof of their faith.
John Calvin
In truth we know by experience that song has great force and vigour to move and inflame the hearts of men to invoke and praise God with a more vehement and ardent zeal.
John Calvin
The excellence of the Church does not consist in multitude but in purity.
John Calvin
God promised by the mouth of Isaiah that queens should be the nursing mothers of the church.
John Calvin
Faith and patience are exceptional virtues in those that suffer. Patience is the fruit and evidence of faith.
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
How do we know that God has elected us before the creation of the world? By believing in Jesus Christ.
John Calvin
Warned by such evidences of their spiritual illness, believers profit by their humiliations. Robbed of their foolish confidence in the flesh, they take refuge in the grace of God. And when they have done so, they experience the nearness of the divine protection which is to them a strong fortress (Ps 30:6-7).
John Calvin
Let that ethical philosophy therefore of free-will be far from a Christian mind.
John Calvin
In vain people busy themselves with finding any good of man's own in his will. For any mixture of the power of freewill that men strive to mingle with God's grace is nothing but a corruption of grace. It is just as if one were to dilute wine with muddy, bitter water.
John Calvin
The Holy Spirit is the bond by which Christ efficaciously unites us to himself.
John Calvin
