More quotes by John Calvin
Now we shall possess a right definition of faith if we call it a firm and certain knowledge of God's benevolence toward us, founded upon the truth of the freely given promise in Christ, both revealed to our minds and sealed upon our hearts through the Holy Spirit.
John Calvin
God is not limited to any person, but calls freely whomsoever He pleases, and bestows on those who are called whatever rewards He thinks fit.
John Calvin
I don't need to compromise my principles, because they don't have the slightest bearing on what happens to me anyway.
John Calvin
It is faith alone that justifies, but faith that justifies can never be alone.
John Calvin
Faith is a knowledge of the benevolence of God toward us, and a certain persuasion of His veracity.

John Calvin
That man is truly humble who neither claims any personal merit in the sight of God, nor proudly despises brethren, or aims at being thought superior to them, but reckons it enough that he is one of the members of Christ, and desires nothing more than that the Head alone should be exalted.
John Calvin

John Calvin

John Calvin
Each eye can have its vision separately but when we are looking at anything our vision, which in itself is divided, joins up and unites in order to give itself as a whole to the object that is put before it.
John Calvin
Doctrine is not an affair of the tongue but of the life.
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
Their [the Jews] rotten and unbending stiffneckedness deserves that they be oppressed unendingly and without measure or end and that they die in their misery without the pity of anyone.
John Calvin
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
