More quotes by John Calvin
There can be no courage in men unless God supports them by his Word.
John Calvin
Whenever our sins press hard against us, whenever Satan would drive us to despair, we must hold up this shield, that God does not want us to be overwhelmed in everlasting destruction, for He has ordained His Son to be the salvation of the world.
John Calvin
In our good works nothing is our own.
John Calvin
Every one of us is, even from his mother's womb, a master craftsman of idols.
John Calvin
We must resist wandering thoughts in prayer. Raising our hands reminds us that we need to raise up our minds to God, setting aside all irrelevant thoughts.
John Calvin
The Holy Spirit is the bond by which Christ efficaciously unites us to himself.
John Calvin
Unless men establish their complete happiness in God, they will never give themselves truly and sincerely to him.
John Calvin
Whensoever God's truth is defaced or when any man turns away from the pure simplicity of the Gospel, we must not in any wise spare him, but although the whole world should set itself against us, yet must we maintain the case with invincible constancy, without bending for any creature.
John Calvin
The cross of Christ only triumphs in the breast of believers over the devil and the flesh, sin and sinners, when their eyes are directed to the power of His Resurrection.
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 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
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
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
We shall never be clothed with the righteousness of Christ except we first know assuredly that we have no righteousness of our own.
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
Is it faith to understand nothing, and merely submit your convictions implicitly to the Church?
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
Where God's Spirit does not reign, there is no humility, and men ever swell with inward pride.
John Calvin
We must remember that Satan has his miracles, too.
John Calvin
The blindness of unbelievers in no way detracts from the clarity of the gospel the sun is no less bright because blind men do not perceive its light.
John Calvin
