More quotes by 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
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
After 50 years, is it not clear that God has raised up new illnesses connected with fornication? From where do these things come if not from the hand of God? [In response to these diseases] The world was astounded, and people were terrified for a time, but they have not, to this day, observed the hand of God.
John Calvin
Tears that are shed in time of affliction are rarely tears of penitence, but more likely they are shed out of self pity and pain or sorrow.
John Calvin
There is no place for faith if we expect God to fulfill immediately what he promises.
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
But the present life should never be hated, except insofar as it subjects us to sin, although even that hatred should not properly be applied to life itself.
John Calvin
The very word baptizé, however, signifies to immerse and it is certain that immersion was the practice of the ancient Church.
John Calvin
Many people have accused me of such ferocious cruelty that (they allege) I would like to kill again the man I have destroyed. Not only am I indifferent to their comments, but I rejoice in the fact that they spit in my face.
John Calvin
Where God's Spirit does not reign, there is no humility, and men ever swell with inward pride.
John Calvin
Nor, in truth, is it of little importance to prevent the suspicion of any difference having arisen between us from being handed down in any way to our posterity for it is worse than absurd that parties should be found disagreeing on the very principles, after we have been compelled to make our departure from the world.
John Calvin
If the gospel be not preached, Jesus Christ is, as it were, buried.
John Calvin
It is a sign of a perverse and treacherous disposition to wound the good name of another, when he has no opportunity of defending himself.
John Calvin
If grace acts in us, grace, and not we who do the work, will be crowned.
John Calvin
Warned by such evidences of their spiritual illness, believers profit by their humiliations. Robbed of their foolish confidence in the flesh, they take refuge in the grace of God. And when they have done so, they experience the nearness of the divine protection which is to them a strong fortress (Ps 30:6-7).
John Calvin
There is no erratic power or action or motion in creatures but they are governed by God's secret plan in such a way that nothing happens except what is knowingly and willingly decreed by Him.
John Calvin
But those who wish to prove to unbelievers that Scripture is the Word of God are acting foolishly, for only by faith can this be known.
John Calvin
No man can come to God but by an extraordinary revelation of the Spirit.
John Calvin
There can be no courage in men unless God supports them by his Word.
John Calvin
The glory of God shines, indeed, in all creatures on high and below, but never more brightly than in the cross.
John Calvin
