Image
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
Image
The vices of which we are full we carefully hide from others, and we flatter ourselves with the notion that they are small and trivial we sometimes even embrace them as virtues.
John Calvin
Image
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
Image
In our good works nothing is our own.
John Calvin
Image
Free will does not enable any man to perform good works, unless he is assisted by grace indeed, the special grace which the elect alone receive through regeneration. For I stay not to consider the extravagance of those who say that grace is offered equally and promiscuously to all
John Calvin
Image
There is no group or type of people anywhere in the world that is excluded from salvation, because God desires that the gospel be proclaimed to all without exception.

But we have nothing of the Spirit except through regeneration. Everything, therefore, which we have from nature is flesh.
John Calvin
Image
We must make the invisible kingdom visible in our midst.
John Calvin
Image
No man is excluded from calling upon God, the gate of salvation is set open unto all men: neither is there any other thing which keepeth us back from entering in, save only our own unbelief.
John Calvin
Image
Where riches hold the dominion of the heart, God has lost His authority.
John Calvin
Image
In knowing God, each of us also knows himself.
John Calvin
Image
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
Image
Human will does not by liberty obtain grace, but by grace obtains liberty.
John Calvin
Image
A man will be justified by faith when, excluded from righteousness of works, he by faith lays hold of the righteousness of Christ, and clothed in it, appears in the sight of God not as a sinner, but as righteous.
John Calvin
Image
To make intercession for men is the most powerful and practical way in which we can express our love for them.
John Calvin
Image
No man can come to God but by an extraordinary revelation of the Spirit.
John Calvin
Image
I gave up all for Christ, and what have I found? Everything in Christ.
John Calvin
Image
There can be no courage in men unless God supports them by his Word.
John Calvin
Image
Prayers belong strictly to the worship of God. Fasting is a subordinate aid, which is pleasing to God no farther than as it aids the earnestness and fervency of prayer.
John Calvin
Image
Where God's Spirit does not reign, there is no humility, and men ever swell with inward pride.
John Calvin
