More quotes by John Calvin
True faith is ever connected with hope.
John Calvin
The church is the gathering of God's children, where they can be helped and fed like babies and then guided by her motherly care, grow up to manhood in maturity of faith.
John Calvin
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.
John Calvin
We cannot rely on God's promises without obeying his commandments.
John Calvin
Sometimes it seems things go by too quickly. We are so busy watching out for what's just ahead of us that we don't take the time to enjoy where we are.
John Calvin
Integrity is the best of all protectors...we cannot be more secure than when fortified by a good conscience.
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
Whether each of the faithful has a particular angel assigned him for his defence, I cannot venture certainly to affirm... not one angel only has the care of every one of us, but that they all with one consent watch for our salvation.
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
When God designs to forgive us he changes our hearts and turns us to obedience by His Spirit.
John Calvin
All the blessings we enjoy are Divine deposits, committed to our trust on this condition, that they should be dispensed for the benefit of our neighbors.
John Calvin
It is a promise which eminently deserves our observation that all who are united to Christ and acknowledge Him to be Christ and Mediator will remain to the end safe from all danger, for what is said of the body of the Church belongs to each of its members since they are one in Christ.
John Calvin
The Holy Spirit is the bond by which Christ efficaciously unites us to himself.
John Calvin
The Human heart is an idol factory.
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
In our good works nothing is our own.
John Calvin
Yet consider now, whether women are not quite past sense and reason, when they want to rule over men.
John Calvin
How do we know that God has elected us before the creation of the world? By believing in Jesus Christ.
John Calvin
Though Satan instils his poison, and fans the flames of our corrupt desires within us,we are yet not carried by any external force to the commission of sin, but our own flesh entices us, and we willingly yield to its allurements.
John Calvin
Faith is like an empty, open hand stretched out towards God, with nothing to offer and everything to recieve
John Calvin
