More quotes by John Calvin
We must always speak of the efficacy of the ministry in such a manner that the entire praise of the work may be reserved for God alone.
John Calvin
God tolerates even our stammering, and pardons our ignorance whenever something inadvertently escapes us - as, indeed, without this mercy there would be no freedom to pray.
John Calvin
Seeing God hath thus set us at liberty, what rashness it is for worms of the earth to make new laws as though God had not been wise enough.
John Calvin
Prayer is the chief exercise of faith.
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
To be Christians under the law of grace does not mean to wander unbridled outside the law, but to be engrafted in Christ, by whose grace we are free from the curse of the law, and by whose Spirit we have the law engraved upon our hearts.
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
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
God orders what we cannot do, that we may know what we ought to ask him.
John Calvin
We cannot rely on God's promises without obeying his commandments.
John Calvin
Man is never sufficiently touched and affected by the awareness of his lowly state until he has compared himself with God's majesty.
John Calvin
The human heart is a factory of idols...Everyon e of us is, from his mother's womb, expert in inventing idols.
John Calvin
Christ is much more powerful to save, than Adam was to destroy.
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
Surely in Judas' betrayal it will be no more right, because God both willed that his Son be delivered up, and delivered him up to death, to ascribe the guilt of the crime to God than to transfer the credit for redemption to Judas.
John Calvin
If God contains the fullness of all good things in Himself like an inexhaustible fountain, nothing beyond Him is to be sought by those who strike after the highest good and all the elements of happiness.
John Calvin
The Holy Spirit is the bond by which Christ efficaciously unites us to himself.
John Calvin
But those who wish to prove to unbelievers that Scripture is the Word of God are acting foolishly, for only by faith can this be known.
John Calvin
Whether each of the faithful has a particular angel assigned him for his defence, I cannot venture certainly to affirm... not one angel only has the care of every one of us, but that they all with one consent watch for our salvation.
John Calvin
Let us fall before the majesty of our great God, acknowledging our faults, and praying that he will make us ever more conscious of them.
John Calvin
