More quotes by John Calvin
We must make the invisible kingdom visible in our midst.
John Calvin
But the present life should never be hated, except insofar as it subjects us to sin, although even that hatred should not properly be applied to life itself.
John Calvin
The Bible is the sceptre by which the Heavenly King rules His Church.
John Calvin
The marks of Jesus are imprisonment, chains, scourgings, blows and stoning in bearing testimony to the Gospel. Galatians 6:17 - 17 Finally, let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus.
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 Lord has given us a table at which to feast, not an altar on which a victim is to be offered He has not consecrated priests to make sacrifice, but servants to distribute the sacred feast.
John Calvin
The whole comes to this, that Christ, when he produces faith in us by the agency of his Spirit, at the same time ingrafts us into his body, that we may become partakers of all spiritual blessings.
John Calvin
No man can come to God but by an extraordinary revelation of the Spirit.
John Calvin
We are surrounded by God’s benefits. The best use of these benefits is an unceasing expression of gratitude.
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
God orders what we cannot do, that we may know what we ought to ask him.
John Calvin
Now we shall possess a right definition of faith if we call it a firm and certain knowledge of God's benevolence toward us, founded upon the truth of the freely given promise in Christ, both revealed to our minds and sealed upon our hearts through the Holy Spirit.
John Calvin
When we come to a comparison of heaven and earth, then we may indeed not only forget all about the present life, but even despise and scorn it.
John Calvin
the more we are oppressed by the cross, the fuller will be our spiritual joy.
John Calvin
This is plainly to ascribe divinity to 'free will.'
John Calvin
That man is truly humble who neither claims any personal merit in the sight of God, nor proudly despises brethren, or aims at being thought superior to them, but reckons it enough that he is one of the members of Christ, and desires nothing more than that the Head alone should be exalted.
John Calvin
Nothing is more dangerous than to be blinded by prosperity.
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
Faith and patience are exceptional virtues in those that suffer. Patience is the fruit and evidence of faith.
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
