More quotes by John Calvin
We are promised abundance of all good things--yet we are rich only in hunger and thirst. What would become of us if we did not take our stand on hope, and if our heart did not hasten beyond this world!
John Calvin
Unless we endeavor to do good to our neighbor, through our cruelty we transgress this law
John Calvin
Unless men establish their complete happiness in God, they will never give themselves truly and sincerely to him.
John Calvin
Who will venture to place the authority of Copernicus above that of the Holy Spirit?
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
Our prayer must not be self-centered. It must arise not only because we feel our own need as a burden we must lay upon God, but also because we are so bound up in love for our fellow men that we feel their need as acutely as our own. To make intercession for men is the most powerful and practical way in which we can express our love for them.
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
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
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
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
Is it faith to understand nothing, and merely submit your convictions implicitly to the Church?
John Calvin
The name of Christ excludes all merit of our own.
John Calvin
Men are idol factories.
John Calvin
If God does nothing random, there must always be something to learn.
John Calvin
In our good works nothing is our own.
John Calvin
Surely in Judas' betrayal it will be no more right, because God both willed that his Son be delivered up, and delivered him up to death, to ascribe the guilt of the crime to God than to transfer the credit for redemption to Judas.
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
We are surrounded by God’s benefits. The best use of these benefits is an unceasing expression of gratitude.
John Calvin
I have not so great a struggle with my vices, great and numerous as they are, as I have with my impatience. My efforts are not absolutely useless yet I have never been able to conquer this ferocious wild beast.
John Calvin
Free will is an empty term.
John Calvin
