More quotes by John Calvin

John Calvin
Knowledge of the sciences is so much smoke apart from the heavenly science of Christ.
John Calvin
Unless we ardently and prayerfully devote ourselves to Christ's righteousness we do not only faithlessly revolt from our Creator, but we also abjure him as our Savior.
John Calvin
However many blessings we expect from God, His infinite liberality will always exceed all our wishes and our thoughts.
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
For our hearts are enfeebled by prosperity, so that we cannot make the effort to pray.
John Calvin
Nobody seriously believes the universe was made by God without being persuaded that He takes care of His works.
John Calvin
They who prematurely put themselves forward to root out whatever is displeasing to them overthrow the judgment of God and rashly intrude upon the office of angels.
John Calvin

John Calvin

John Calvin
Man's nature, so to speak, is a perpetual factory of idols.
John Calvin
Because I know that I am not my own master, I offer my heart as a true sacrifice to the Lord.
John Calvin
Where God's Spirit does not reign, there is no humility, and men ever swell with inward pride.
John Calvin
This is what entertainment is all about- idiots, explosives and falling anvils.
John Calvin
It is no small honour that God for our sake has so magnificently adorned the world, in order that we may not only be spectators of this beauteous theatre, but also enjoy the multiplied abundance and variety of good things which are presented to us in it.
John Calvin
The Holy Spirit is the bond by which Christ efficaciously unites us to himself.
John Calvin
Faith is the evidence of divine adoption.
John Calvin
Let our chief goal, O God, be your glory, and to enjoy You forever.
John Calvin
