More quotes by John Calvin
On the contrary, therefore, Christ declares that the doctrine of the Gospel, though it is preached to all without exception, cannot be embraced by all, but that a new understanding and a new perception are requisite and, therefore, that faith does not depend on the will of men, but that it is God who gives it.
John Calvin

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
But as a heathen tells us, there is no nation so barbarous, no race so brutish as not to be imbued with the conviction that there is a God.
John Calvin
When a certain shameless fellow mockingly asked a pious old man what God had done before the creation of the world the latter aptly countered that he had been building hell for the curious.
John Calvin
We must make the invisible kingdom visible in our midst.
John Calvin
The human heart is a factory of idols...Everyon e of us is, from his mother's womb, expert in inventing idols.
John Calvin
It is only the goodness of God sensibly experienced by us which opens our mouth to celebrate His praise.
John Calvin
The Human heart is an idol factory.
John Calvin
The glory of God shines, indeed, in all creatures on high and below, but never more brightly than in the cross.
John Calvin
