More quotes by 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
Faith is the evidence of divine adoption.
John Calvin
On the contrary, therefore, Christ declares that the doctrine of the Gospel, though it is preached to all without exception, cannot be embraced by all, but that a new understanding and a new perception are requisite and, therefore, that faith does not depend on the will of men, but that it is God who gives it.
John Calvin
Without knowledge of self there is no knowledge of God.
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 cross of Christ only triumphs in the breast of believers over the devil and the flesh, sin and sinners, when their eyes are directed to the power of His Resurrection.
John Calvin
The Human heart is an idol factory.
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
Creatures are so governed by the secret counsel of God, that nothing happens but what he has knowingly and willingly decreed.
John Calvin
We must remember that Satan has his miracles, too.
John Calvin
There is no golden mean between these two extremes either this early life must become low in our estimation, or it will have our inordinate love.
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
To know God as the sovereign disposer of all good, inviting us to present our requests, and yet not to approach or ask of him, were so far from availing us, that it were just as if one told of a treasure were to allow it to remain buried in the ground.
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
However many blessings we expect from God, His infinite liberality will always exceed all our wishes and our thoughts.
John Calvin
All things being at God's disposal, and the decision of salvation or death belonging to him, he orders all things by his counsel and decree in such a manner, that some men are born devoted from the womb to certain death, that his name may be glorified in their destruction.
John Calvin
There is nothing in afflictions which ought to disturb our joy.
John Calvin
There is no knowing that does not begin with knowing God.
John Calvin
Christ's intercession is the continual application of his death to our salvation.
John Calvin
I gave up all for Christ, and what have I found? Everything in Christ.
John Calvin
