More quotes by John Calvin
Every one of us is, even from his mother's womb, a master craftsman of idols.
John Calvin
They babble and talk absurdly who, in the place of God's providence, substitute bare permission - as if God sat in a watchtower awaiting chance events , and his judgments thus depended upon human will.
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
The human heart has so many crannies where vanity hides, so many holes where falsehood works, is so decked out with deceiving hypocrisy, that it often dupes itself.
John Calvin
To be Christians under the law of grace does not mean to wander unbridled outside the law, but to be engrafted in Christ, by whose grace we are free from the curse of the law, and by whose Spirit we have the law engraved upon our hearts.
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
No man can come to God but by an extraordinary revelation of the Spirit.
John Calvin
In vain people busy themselves with finding any good of man's own in his will. For any mixture of the power of freewill that men strive to mingle with God's grace is nothing but a corruption of grace. It is just as if one were to dilute wine with muddy, bitter water.
John Calvin
Those who set up a fictitious worship, merely worship and adore their own delirious fancies indeed, they would never dare so to trifle with God, had they not previously fashioned him after their own childish conceits.
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
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
However many blessings we expect from God, His infinite liberality will always exceed all our wishes and our thoughts.
John Calvin
They who prematurely put themselves forward to root out whatever is displeasing to them overthrow the judgment of God and rashly intrude upon the office of angels.
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
I gave up all for Christ, and what have I found? Everything in Christ.
John Calvin
God does not bestow his spirit on his people in order to set aside the use of his word, but rather to render it fruitful.
John Calvin
I consider looseness with words no less of a defect than looseness of the bowels.
John Calvin
God preordained, for his own glory and the display of His attributes of mercy and justice, a part of the human race, without any merit of their own, to eternal salvation, and another part, in just punishment of their sin, to eternal damnation.
John Calvin
If we are given gold, would we not test it to determine it's value? If we doubted its genuineness - we would test it by fire...and so God with us.
John Calvin
This is plainly to ascribe divinity to 'free will.'
John Calvin
