More quotes by John Calvin
True faith is ever connected with hope.
John Calvin
When pain and suffering strike, our faith is well founded if it is standing on the promises of God. For all of God's promises have strong confirmation in Christ.
John Calvin
It is certain that not one drop of rain falls without God's sure command.
John Calvin
We must remember that Satan has his miracles, too.
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
If everything proceeded according to their wishes, they would not understand what it means to follow God.
John Calvin
The answer of our prayers is secured by the fact that in rejecting them God would in a certain sense deny His own nature.
John Calvin
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
Free will does not enable any man to perform good works, unless he is assisted by grace indeed, the special grace which the elect alone receive through regeneration. For I stay not to consider the extravagance of those who say that grace is offered equally and promiscuously to all
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
We should never insult others on account of their faults, for it is our duty to show charity and respect to everyone.
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
Repentance is the true turning of our life to God, a turning that arises from a pure and earnest fear of Him and it consists in the mortification of the flesh and the renewing of the Spirit.
John Calvin
Without knowledge of self there is no knowledge of God Our wisdom, in so far as it ought to be deemed true and solid Wisdom, consists almost entirely of two parts: the knowledge of God and of ourselves. But as these are connected together by many ties, it is not easy to determine which of the two precedes and gives birth to the other.
John Calvin
We can experience joy in adverse circumstances by holding God's benefits in such esteem that the recognition of them and meditation upon them shall overcome all sorrow.
John Calvin
The denial of ourselves which Christ has so diligently commanded his disciples from the beginning will at last dominate all the desires of our heart.
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
For our hearts are enfeebled by prosperity, so that we cannot make the effort to pray.
John Calvin
Our true and genuine wisdom can be summed up as the knowledge of God and the knowledge of ourselves.
John Calvin
I have not so great a struggle with my vices, great and numerous as they are, as I have with my impatience. My efforts are not absolutely useless yet I have never been able to conquer this ferocious wild beast.
John Calvin
