More quotes by 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
Again I ask whence it happened that the fall of Adam involved, without remedy, in eternal death so many nations, together with their infant children, except because it so seemed good to God? A decree horrible, I confess, and yet true.
John Calvin
I consider looseness with words no less of a defect than looseness of the bowels.
John Calvin
But, as sculpture and painting are gifts of God, what I insist on is, that both shall be used purely and lawfully, that gifts which the Lord has bestowed upon us, for His glory and our good, shall not be preposterously abused, nay, shall not be perverted to our destruction.
John Calvin
Joy and patience are far above our strength... We must persevere in prayer that he may not permit our hearts to faint... Prayer and perseverance are necessary in our daily conflicts. The best remedy to the weariness is diligence in prayer.
John Calvin
Seeing that a Pilot steers the ship in which we sail, who will never allow us to perish even in the midst of shipwrecks, there is no reason why our minds should be overwhelmed with fear and overcome with weariness.
John Calvin
Lawful worship consists in obedience alone.
John Calvin
The cross of Christ only triumphs in the breast of believers over the devil and the flesh, sin and sinners, when their eyes are directed to the power of His Resurrection.
John Calvin
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
We unjustly defraud God of his right, unless each of us lives and dies in dependence on His sovereign pleasure.
John Calvin
It is a very important consideration that we are consecrated and dedicated to God it means that we may think, speak, meditate, or do anything only with a view to his glory.
John Calvin
Our prayer must not be self-centered. It must arise not only because we feel our own need as a burden we must lay upon God, but also because we are so bound up in love for our fellow men that we feel their need as acutely as our own. To make intercession for men is the most powerful and practical way in which we can express our love for them.
John Calvin
No Task will be so sordid and base, provided you obey your calling in it, that it will not shine and be reckoned very precious in God's sight.
John Calvin
My heart I give you, Lord, eagerly and entirely.
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
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
No man is excluded from calling upon God, the gate of salvation is set open unto all men: neither is there any other thing which keepeth us back from entering in, save only our own unbelief.
John Calvin
All men were created to busy themselves with the labor for the common good.
John Calvin
It is certain that not one drop of rain falls without God's sure command.
John Calvin
Let our chief goal, O God, be your glory, and to enjoy You forever.
John Calvin
