If we are given gold, would we not test it to determine it's value? If we doubted its genuineness - we would test it by fire...and so God with us.
John Calvin
Image
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
Image
In our good works nothing is our own.
John Calvin

There can be no courage in men unless God supports them by his Word.

Image
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
Image
Because I know that I am not my own master, I offer my heart as a true sacrifice to the Lord.
John Calvin
Image
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
Image
I have never seen either a drop of piety or a grain of truth or ingenuousness - nay, I have never found common sense in any Jew.

Image
There is not one blade of grass, there is no color in this world that is not intended to make men rejoice.
John Calvin
Image
When we come to a comparison of heaven and earth, then we may indeed not only forget all about the present life, but even despise and scorn it.
John Calvin
Image
After 50 years, is it not clear that God has raised up new illnesses connected with fornication? From where do these things come if not from the hand of God? [In response to these diseases] The world was astounded, and people were terrified for a time, but they have not, to this day, observed the hand of God.
John Calvin

It would be the height of absurdity to label ignorance tempered by humility faith! (Institutio III.2.3)
John Calvin
Image
The happiness promised us in Christ does not consist in outward advantages-such as leading a joyous and peaceful life, having rich possessions, being safe from all harm, and abounding with delights such as the flesh commonly longs after. No, our happiness belongs to the heavenly life!
John Calvin
Image
We explain justification simply as the acceptance with which God receives us into his favor as righteous men. And we say that it consists in the remission of sins and the imputation of Christ’s righteousness.
John Calvin
Image
The first part of a good work is the will, the second is vigorous effort in the doing of it. God is the author of both. It is, therefore, robbery from God to arrogate anything to ourselves, either in the will or the act.
John Calvin
Image
Satan, who is a wonderful contriver of delusions, is constantly laying snares to entrap ignorant and heedless people.
John Calvin
Image
Things that are seen are temporal things that are unseen are eternal.

In knowing God, each of us also knows himself.
