Image
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
Image
Those who set up a fictitious worship, merely worship and adore their own delirious fancies indeed, they would never dare so to trifle with God, had they not previously fashioned him after their own childish conceits.
John Calvin
Image
The human heart is a factory of idols...Everyon e of us is, from his mother's womb, expert in inventing idols.
John Calvin
Image
There are people who are known to be very liberal, yet they never give without scolding or pride or even insolence.
John Calvin
Image
The highest honor in the church is not government but service.
John Calvin
Image
On the contrary, therefore, Christ declares that the doctrine of the Gospel, though it is preached to all without exception, cannot be embraced by all, but that a new understanding and a new perception are requisite and, therefore, that faith does not depend on the will of men, but that it is God who gives it.
John Calvin
Image
I have not so great a struggle with my vices, great and numerous as they are, as I have with my impatience. My efforts are not absolutely useless yet I have never been able to conquer this ferocious wild beast.
John Calvin
Image
The Angels are the dispensers and administrators of the Divine beneficence toward us. They regard our safety, undertake our defense, direct our ways, and exercise a constant solicitude that no evil befall us.
John Calvin
Image
We must make the invisible kingdom visible in our midst.
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
If God does nothing random, there must always be something to learn.
John Calvin
Image
We are surrounded by God’s benefits. The best use of these benefits is an unceasing expression of gratitude.
John Calvin
Image
All the blessings we enjoy are Divine deposits, committed to our trust on this condition, that they should be dispensed for the benefit of our neighbors.
John Calvin
Image
The sum is, that the worship of God must be spiritual, in order that it may correspond with His nature. For although Moses only speaks of idolatry, yet there is no doubt but that by synecdoche, as in all the rest of the law, he condemns all fictitious services which men in their ingenuity have invented.
John Calvin
Image
However many blessings we expect from God, His infinite liberality will always exceed all our wishes and our thoughts.
John Calvin
Image
Integrity is the best of all protectors...we cannot be more secure than when fortified by a good conscience.
John Calvin
Image
Free will is an empty term.
John Calvin
Image
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
Image
Creatures are so governed by the secret counsel of God, that nothing happens but what he has knowingly and willingly decreed.

Who will venture to place the authority of Copernicus above that of the Holy Spirit?
