More quotes by John Calvin
Let us fall before the majesty of our great God, acknowledging our faults, and praying that he will make us ever more conscious of them.
John Calvin
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
It is certain that man never achieves a clear knowledge of himself unless he has first looked upon God's face, and then descends from contemplating him to scrutinize himself.
John Calvin
You must submit to supreme suffering in order to discover the completion of joy.
John Calvin
Our true wisdom is to embrace with meek docility, and without reservation, whatever the holy scriptures have delivered.
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
There are people who are known to be very liberal, yet they never give without scolding or pride or even insolence.
John Calvin
When a certain shameless fellow mockingly asked a pious old man what God had done before the creation of the world the latter aptly countered that he had been building hell for the curious.
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
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
There can be no courage in men unless God supports them by his Word.
John Calvin
Men are idol factories.
John Calvin
The whole gospel is contained in Christ.
John Calvin
To know God as the sovereign disposer of all good, inviting us to present our requests, and yet not to approach or ask of him, were so far from availing us, that it were just as if one told of a treasure were to allow it to remain buried in the ground.
John Calvin
Creatures are so governed by the secret counsel of God, that nothing happens but what he has knowingly and willingly decreed.
John Calvin
A soul, therefore, when deprived of the Word of God, is given up unarmed to the devil for destruction
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
No man can come to God but by an extraordinary revelation of the Spirit.
John Calvin
The Bible is the sceptre by which the Heavenly King rules His Church.
John Calvin
Everyone flatters himself and carries a kingdom in his breast.
John Calvin
