More quotes by John Calvin
All truth is God's truth.
John Calvin
Our true and genuine wisdom can be summed up as the knowledge of God and the knowledge of ourselves.
John Calvin
It cannot be denied that God in choosing and destining Mary to be the Mother of his Son, granted her the highest honor.
John Calvin
Wherever we see the Word of God purely preached and heard, there a church of God exists, even if it swarms with many faults.
John Calvin
In vain people busy themselves with finding any good of man's own in his will. For any mixture of the power of freewill that men strive to mingle with God's grace is nothing but a corruption of grace. It is just as if one were to dilute wine with muddy, bitter water.
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
In truth we know by experience that song has great force and vigour to move and inflame the hearts of men to invoke and praise God with a more vehement and ardent zeal.
John Calvin
Prayers belong strictly to the worship of God. Fasting is a subordinate aid, which is pleasing to God no farther than as it aids the earnestness and fervency of prayer.
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
There is no group or type of people anywhere in the world that is excluded from salvation, because God desires that the gospel be proclaimed to all without exception.
John Calvin
Augustine does not disagree with this when he teaches that it is a faculty of the reason and the will to choose good with the assistance of grace evil, when grace is absent.
John Calvin
Nobody seriously believes the universe was made by God without being persuaded that He takes care of His works.
John Calvin
Who will venture to place the authority of Copernicus above that of the Holy Spirit?
John Calvin
All whom the Lord has chosen and received into the society of his saints ought to prepare themselves for a life that is hard, difficult, laborious and full of countless griefs.
John Calvin
Our assurance, our glory, and the sole anchor of our salvation are that Christ the Son of God is ours, and we in turn are in him sons of God and heirs of the Kingdom of Heaven, called to the hope of eternal blessedness by God's grace, not by our worth.
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
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
A soul, therefore, when deprived of the Word of God, is given up unarmed to the devil for destruction
John Calvin
Where God's Spirit does not reign, there is no humility, and men ever swell with inward pride.
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
