More quotes by John Calvin
Indeed, a Christian ought to be disposed and prepared to keep in mind that he has to reckon with God every moment of his life.
John Calvin
When we see that the whole sum of our salvation, and every single part of it, are comprehended in Christ, we must beware of deriving even the minutest portion of it from any other quarter.
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
Things that are seen are temporal things that are unseen are eternal.
John Calvin
When the Bible speaks, God speaks.
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
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
A perfect faith is nowhere to be found, so it follows that all of us are partly unbelievers.
John Calvin
Where riches hold the dominion of the heart, God has lost His authority.
John Calvin
How can it be said that the weakness of the human will is aided so as to enable it to aspire effectually to the choice of good, when the fact is, that it must be wholly transformed and renewed?
John Calvin
Our true and genuine wisdom can be summed up as the knowledge of God and the knowledge of ourselves.
John Calvin
But a faithful believer will in all circumstances mediate on the mercy and fatherly goodness of God.
John Calvin
Yet consider now, whether women are not quite past sense and reason, when they want to rule over men.
John Calvin
Whether each of the faithful has a particular angel assigned him for his defence, I cannot venture certainly to affirm... not one angel only has the care of every one of us, but that they all with one consent watch for our salvation.
John Calvin
Free will is an empty term.
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
It is no small honour that God for our sake has so magnificently adorned the world, in order that we may not only be spectators of this beauteous theatre, but also enjoy the multiplied abundance and variety of good things which are presented to us in it.
John Calvin
True faith is ever connected with hope.
John Calvin
Let us not cease to do the utmost, that we may incessantly go forward in the way of the Lord and let us not despair of the smallness of our accomplishments.
John Calvin
If we believe heaven to be our country, it is better for us to transmit our wealth thither, than to retain it here, where we may lose it by a sudden removal.
John Calvin
