More quotes by John Calvin
If God were not to test us, there would be no patience.
John Calvin
Involvement in public life provides the opportunity to shape our manners in accordance with civil justice.
John Calvin
However many blessings we expect from God, His infinite liberality will always exceed all our wishes and our thoughts.
John Calvin
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
All true knowledge of God is born out of obedience.
John Calvin
We should never insult others on account of their faults, for it is our duty to show charity and respect to everyone.
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
Our true and genuine wisdom can be summed up as the knowledge of God and the knowledge of ourselves.
John Calvin
There is no golden mean between these two extremes either this early life must become low in our estimation, or it will have our inordinate love.
John Calvin
Unless we ardently and prayerfully devote ourselves to Christ's righteousness we do not only faithlessly revolt from our Creator, but we also abjure him as our Savior.
John Calvin
This is what entertainment is all about- idiots, explosives and falling anvils.
John Calvin

John Calvin
When the Bible speaks, God speaks.
John Calvin
But as a heathen tells us, there is no nation so barbarous, no race so brutish as not to be imbued with the conviction that there is a God.
John Calvin
All things being at God's disposal, and the decision of salvation or death belonging to him, he orders all things by his counsel and decree in such a manner, that some men are born devoted from the womb to certain death, that his name may be glorified in their destruction.
John Calvin
They babble and talk absurdly who, in the place of God's providence, substitute bare permission - as if God sat in a watchtower awaiting chance events , and his judgments thus depended upon human will.
John Calvin
But a most pernicious error widely prevails that Scripture has only so much weight as is conceded to it by the consent of the church. As if the eternal and inviolable truth of God depended upon the decision of men!
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
Creatures are so governed by the secret counsel of God, that nothing happens but what he has knowingly and willingly decreed.
John Calvin
But those who wish to prove to unbelievers that Scripture is the Word of God are acting foolishly, for only by faith can this be known.
John Calvin
