More quotes by John Calvin
On the one hand, undeserved success gives no satisfaction... but, on the other hand, well-deserved failure gives no satisfaction either.
John Calvin
Let that ethical philosophy therefore of free-will be far from a Christian mind.
John Calvin
In our good works nothing is our own.
John Calvin
To have a proper understanding of the gospel, we must recognise that we need to lean entirely upon the Lord Jesus Christ and his mercy alone as our only hope of salvation. ... No one can be justified by the law justification is through faith alone.
John Calvin
I gave up all for Christ, and what have I found? Everything in Christ.
John Calvin
It is faith alone that justifies, but faith that justifies can never be alone.
John Calvin
No man can come to God but by an extraordinary revelation of the Spirit.
John Calvin
If God contains the fullness of all good things in Himself like an inexhaustible fountain, nothing beyond Him is to be sought by those who strike after the highest good and all the elements of happiness.
John Calvin
If the gospel be not preached, Jesus Christ is, as it were, buried.
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
To know God as the sovereign disposer of all good, inviting us to present our requests, and yet not to approach or ask of him, were so far from availing us, that it were just as if one told of a treasure were to allow it to remain buried in the ground.
John Calvin
I consider looseness with words no less of a defect than looseness of the bowels.
John Calvin
I have never seen either a drop of piety or a grain of truth or ingenuousness - nay, I have never found common sense in any Jew.
John Calvin
But we have nothing of the Spirit except through regeneration. Everything, therefore, which we have from nature is flesh.
John Calvin
God preordained, for his own glory and the display of His attributes of mercy and justice, a part of the human race, without any merit of their own, to eternal salvation, and another part, in just punishment of their sin, to eternal damnation.
John Calvin
Is it faith to understand nothing, and merely submit your convictions implicitly to the Church?
John Calvin
The church is the gathering of God's children, where they can be helped and fed like babies and then guided by her motherly care, grow up to manhood in maturity of faith.
John Calvin
They who prematurely put themselves forward to root out whatever is displeasing to them overthrow the judgment of God and rashly intrude upon the office of angels.
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
Unless we fix certain hours in the day for prayer, it easily slips from our memory.
John Calvin
