More quotes by John Calvin

Image
Joy is a quiet gladness of heart as one contemplates the goodness of God's saving grace in Christ Jesus.
John Calvin
Image
The Lord has given us a table at which to feast, not an altar on which a victim is to be offered He has not consecrated priests to make sacrifice, but servants to distribute the sacred feast.
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
A perfect faith is nowhere to be found, so it follows that all of us are partly unbelievers.
John Calvin
Image
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
Image
Human will does not by liberty obtain grace, but by grace obtains liberty.
John Calvin
Image
Without knowledge of self there is no knowledge of God.
John Calvin
Image
... let everyone regard himself as the steward of God in all things which he possesses.
John Calvin
Image
Whether each of the faithful has a particular angel assigned him for his defence, I cannot venture certainly to affirm... not one angel only has the care of every one of us, but that they all with one consent watch for our salvation.
John Calvin
Image
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
Image
We cannot rely on God's promises without obeying his commandments.
John Calvin
Image
It is evident that man never attains to a true self-knowledge until he has previously contemplated the face of God, and come down after such contemplation to look into himself.
John Calvin
Image
There can be no courage in men unless God supports them by his Word.
John Calvin
Image
When a certain shameless fellow mockingly asked a pious old man what God had done before the creation of the world the latter aptly countered that he had been building hell for the curious.
John Calvin
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Many people have accused me of such ferocious cruelty that (they allege) I would like to kill again the man I have destroyed. Not only am I indifferent to their comments, but I rejoice in the fact that they spit in my face.
John Calvin
Image
Faith is the evidence of divine adoption.
John Calvin
Image
Faith is like an empty, open hand stretched out towards God, with nothing to offer and everything to recieve
John Calvin
Image
Tears that are shed in time of affliction are rarely tears of penitence, but more likely they are shed out of self pity and pain or sorrow.
John Calvin
