More quotes by John Calvin
My heart I give you, Lord, eagerly and entirely.
John Calvin
It would be the height of absurdity to label ignorance tempered by humility faith! (Institutio III.2.3)
John Calvin
No man can come to God but by an extraordinary revelation of the Spirit.
John Calvin
If there had been any unbelief in Mary, that could not prevent God from accomplishing his work in any other way which he might choose. But she is called blessed, because she received by faith the blessing offered to her, and opened up the way to God for its accomplishment.
John Calvin
Is it faith to understand nothing, and merely submit your convictions implicitly to the Church?
John Calvin
For though we very truly hear that the kingdom of God will be filled with splendor, joy, happiness and glory, yet when these things are spoken of, they remain utterly remote from our perception, and as it were, wrapped in obscurities, until that day.
John Calvin
We should ask God to increase our hope when it is small, awaken it when it is dormant, confirm it when it is wavering, strengthen it when it is weak, and raise it up when it is overthrown.
John Calvin
If a preacher is not first preaching to himself, better that he falls on the steps of the pulpit and breaks his neck than preaches that sermon.
John Calvin
But, as sculpture and painting are gifts of God, what I insist on is, that both shall be used purely and lawfully, that gifts which the Lord has bestowed upon us, for His glory and our good, shall not be preposterously abused, nay, shall not be perverted to our destruction.
John Calvin
Men are idol factories.
John Calvin
Christ is much more powerful to save, than Adam was to destroy.
John Calvin
We must make the invisible kingdom visible in our midst.
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
But a faithful believer will in all circumstances mediate on the mercy and fatherly goodness of God.
John Calvin
We cannot rely on God's promises without obeying his commandments.
John Calvin
God promised by the mouth of Isaiah that queens should be the nursing mothers of the church.
John Calvin
Seeing God hath thus set us at liberty, what rashness it is for worms of the earth to make new laws as though God had not been wise enough.
John Calvin
Repentance is the true turning of our life to God, a turning that arises from a pure and earnest fear of Him and it consists in the mortification of the flesh and the renewing of the Spirit.
John Calvin
A dog barks when his master is attacked. I would be a coward if I saw that God's truth is attacked and yet would remain silent.
John Calvin
Nothing is more dangerous than to be blinded by prosperity.
John Calvin
