John Calvin
Image
If there had been any unbelief in Mary, that could not prevent God from accomplishing his work in any other way which he might choose. But she is called blessed, because she received by faith the blessing offered to her, and opened up the way to God for its accomplishment.
John Calvin
Image
Faith is like an empty, open hand stretched out towards God, with nothing to offer and everything to recieve
John Calvin

Augustine does not disagree with this when he teaches that it is a faculty of the reason and the will to choose good with the assistance of grace evil, when grace is absent.
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.

Free will is an empty term.
John Calvin

When we know God to be our Father, should we not desire that he be known as such by all? And if we do not have this passion, that all creatures do him homage, is it not a sign that his glory means little to us?
John Calvin
Image
They babble and talk absurdly who, in the place of God's providence, substitute bare permission - as if God sat in a watchtower awaiting chance events , and his judgments thus depended upon human will.
John Calvin
Image
It is a sign of a perverse and treacherous disposition to wound the good name of another, when he has no opportunity of defending himself.
John Calvin
Image
The answer of our prayers is secured by the fact that in rejecting them God would in a certain sense deny His own nature.
John Calvin
Image
When the Bible speaks, God speaks.
John Calvin
Image
If grace acts in us, grace, and not we who do the work, will be crowned.
John Calvin
Image
It is certain that man never achieves a clear knowledge of himself unless he has first looked upon God's face, and then descends from contemplating him to scrutinize himself.
John Calvin
Image
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
Image
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
Image
It is certain that not one drop of rain falls without God's sure command.
John Calvin
Image
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.
