More quotes by John Calvin
We must observe that the knowledge of God which we are invited to cultivate is not that which, resting satisfied with empty speculation, only flutters in the brain, but a knowledge which will prove substantial and fruitful whenever it is duly perceived and rooted in the heart.
John Calvin
Nobody seriously believes the universe was made by God without being persuaded that He takes care of His works.
John Calvin
Faith and patience are exceptional virtues in those that suffer. Patience is the fruit and evidence of faith.
John Calvin
When our faith is tested by suffering as gold is tried in a furnace and we depend with confidence on God and rely entirely on his help, we will be granted the most excellent gift of patience and through faith we may victoriously persevere to the end.
John Calvin
Things that are seen are temporal things that are unseen are eternal.
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 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
If God were not to test us, there would be no patience.
John Calvin
All the blessings we enjoy are Divine deposits, committed to our trust on this condition, that they should be dispensed for the benefit of our neighbors.
John Calvin
To be Christians under the law of grace does not mean to wander unbridled outside the law, but to be engrafted in Christ, by whose grace we are free from the curse of the law, and by whose Spirit we have the law engraved upon our hearts.
John Calvin
God is not limited to any person, but calls freely whomsoever He pleases, and bestows on those who are called whatever rewards He thinks fit.
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
The gospel is not a doctrine of the tongue, but of life. It cannot be grasped by reason and memory only, but it is fully understood when it possesses the whole soul and penetrates to the inner recesses of the heart.
John Calvin
Man's nature, so to speak, is a perpetual factory of idols.
John Calvin
It is amazing how much our lack of trust provokes God if we request of him a boon that we do not expect
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
A man will be justified by faith when, excluded from righteousness of works, he by faith lays hold of the righteousness of Christ, and clothed in it, appears in the sight of God not as a sinner, but as righteous.
John Calvin
We unjustly defraud God of his right, unless each of us lives and dies in dependence on His sovereign pleasure.
John Calvin
God promised by the mouth of Isaiah that queens should be the nursing mothers of the church.
John Calvin
I don't need to compromise my principles, because they don't have the slightest bearing on what happens to me anyway.
John Calvin
