John Calvin
Image
He makes this favor common to all, because it is propounded to all, and not because it is in reality extended to all for though Christ suffered for the sins of the whole world, and is offered through God’s benignity indiscriminately to all, yet all do not receive him.
John Calvin
Image
Let us fall before the majesty of our great God, acknowledging our faults, and praying that he will make us ever more conscious of them.
John Calvin
Image
We must always speak of the efficacy of the ministry in such a manner that the entire praise of the work may be reserved for God alone.
John Calvin

True faith is ever connected with hope.
John Calvin

John Calvin

John Calvin
Image
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
Image
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
Image
But a faithful believer will in all circumstances mediate on the mercy and fatherly goodness of God.
John Calvin
Image
Let our chief goal, O God, be your glory, and to enjoy You forever.
John Calvin
Image
Thus the woman, who had perversely exceeded her proper bounds, is forced back to her own position. She had, indeed, previously been subject to her husband, but that was a liberal and gentle subjection now, however, she is cast into servitude.
John Calvin
Image
There is nothing in afflictions which ought to disturb our joy.
John Calvin
Image
Christ's intercession is the continual application of his death to our salvation.
John Calvin
Image
We must make the invisible kingdom visible in our midst.
