More quotes by John Calvin
Their [the Jews] rotten and unbending stiffneckedness deserves that they be oppressed unendingly and without measure or end and that they die in their misery without the pity of anyone.
John Calvin
The church is the gathering of God's children, where they can be helped and fed like babies and then guided by her motherly care, grow up to manhood in maturity of faith.
John Calvin
We must resist wandering thoughts in prayer. Raising our hands reminds us that we need to raise up our minds to God, setting aside all irrelevant thoughts.
John Calvin
There can be no courage in men unless God supports them by his Word.
John Calvin
We shall never be fit for the service of God, if we look not beyond this fleeting life.
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
The Human heart is an idol factory.
John Calvin
When we come to a comparison of heaven and earth, then we may indeed not only forget all about the present life, but even despise and scorn it.
John Calvin
But a faithful believer will in all circumstances mediate on the mercy and fatherly goodness of God.
John Calvin
Each eye can have its vision separately but when we are looking at anything our vision, which in itself is divided, joins up and unites in order to give itself as a whole to the object that is put before it.
John Calvin
The only skills I have the patience to learn are those that have no real application in life.
John Calvin
The sum is, that the worship of God must be spiritual, in order that it may correspond with His nature. For although Moses only speaks of idolatry, yet there is no doubt but that by synecdoche, as in all the rest of the law, he condemns all fictitious services which men in their ingenuity have invented.
John Calvin
It is faith alone that justifies, but faith that justifies can never be alone.
John Calvin
Sometimes it seems things go by too quickly. We are so busy watching out for what's just ahead of us that we don't take the time to enjoy where we are.
John Calvin
A soul, therefore, when deprived of the Word of God, is given up unarmed to the devil for destruction
John Calvin
We cannot rely on God's promises without obeying his commandments.
John Calvin
All whom the Lord has chosen and received into the society of his saints ought to prepare themselves for a life that is hard, difficult, laborious and full of countless griefs.
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
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
Now we shall possess a right definition of faith if we call it a firm and certain knowledge of God's benevolence toward us, founded upon the truth of the freely given promise in Christ, both revealed to our minds and sealed upon our hearts through the Holy Spirit.
John Calvin
