More quotes by John Calvin
Knowledge of the sciences is so much smoke apart from the heavenly science of Christ.
John Calvin
For though we very truly hear that the kingdom of God will be filled with splendor, joy, happiness and glory, yet when these things are spoken of, they remain utterly remote from our perception, and as it were, wrapped in obscurities, until that day.
John Calvin
Let our chief goal, O God, be your glory, and to enjoy You forever.
John Calvin
He makes this favor common to all, because it is propounded to all, and not because it is in reality extended to all for though Christ suffered for the sins of the whole world, and is offered through God’s benignity indiscriminately to all, yet all do not receive him.
John Calvin
The glory of God shines, indeed, in all creatures on high and below, but never more brightly than in the cross.
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
Where riches hold the dominion of the heart, God has lost His authority.
John Calvin
There is nothing in afflictions which ought to disturb our joy.
John Calvin
We are not to reflect on the wickedness of men but to look to the image of God in them, an image which, covering and obliterating their faults, an image which, by its beauty and dignity, should allure us to love and embrace them.
John Calvin
The only skills I have the patience to learn are those that have no real application in life.
John Calvin
There is no knowing that does not begin with knowing God.
John Calvin
Hypocrisy can plunge the mind of a man into a dark abyss, when he believes his own self-flattery instead of God's verdict.
John Calvin
For astronomy is not only pleasant, but also very useful to be known: it cannot be denied that this art unfolds the admirable wisdom of God.
John Calvin
Warned by such evidences of their spiritual illness, believers profit by their humiliations. Robbed of their foolish confidence in the flesh, they take refuge in the grace of God. And when they have done so, they experience the nearness of the divine protection which is to them a strong fortress (Ps 30:6-7).
John Calvin
Let us fall before the majesty of our great God, acknowledging our faults, and praying that he will make us ever more conscious of them.
John Calvin
Without knowledge of self there is no knowledge of God.
John Calvin
Nor, in truth, is it of little importance to prevent the suspicion of any difference having arisen between us from being handed down in any way to our posterity for it is worse than absurd that parties should be found disagreeing on the very principles, after we have been compelled to make our departure from the world.
John Calvin
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
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
We must always speak of the efficacy of the ministry in such a manner that the entire praise of the work may be reserved for God alone.
John Calvin
