More quotes by John Calvin
The Lord has given us a table at which to feast, not an altar on which a victim is to be offered He has not consecrated priests to make sacrifice, but servants to distribute the sacred feast.
John Calvin

John Calvin
Joy is a quiet gladness of heart as one contemplates the goodness of God's saving grace in Christ Jesus.
John Calvin
As by the revolt of the first man, the image of God could be effaced from his mind and soul, so there is nothing strange in His shedding some rays of grace on the reprobate, and afterwards allowing these to be extinguished.
John Calvin
If God does nothing random, there must always be something to learn.
John Calvin
The happiness promised us in Christ does not consist in outward advantages-such as leading a joyous and peaceful life, having rich possessions, being safe from all harm, and abounding with delights such as the flesh commonly longs after. No, our happiness belongs to the heavenly life!
John Calvin
To be Christians under the law of grace does not mean to wander unbridled outside the law, but to be engrafted in Christ, by whose grace we are free from the curse of the law, and by whose Spirit we have the law engraved upon our hearts.
John Calvin
I gave up all for Christ, and what have I found? Everything in Christ.
John Calvin
Satan, who is a wonderful contriver of delusions, is constantly laying snares to entrap ignorant and heedless people.
John Calvin
The Bible is the sceptre by which the Heavenly King rules His Church.
John Calvin
