More quotes by John Calvin
The human heart has so many crannies where vanity hides, so many holes where falsehood works, is so decked out with deceiving hypocrisy, that it often dupes itself.
John Calvin
If there had been any unbelief in Mary, that could not prevent God from accomplishing his work in any other way which he might choose. But she is called blessed, because she received by faith the blessing offered to her, and opened up the way to God for its accomplishment.
John Calvin
Yet consider now, whether women are not quite past sense and reason, when they want to rule over men.
John Calvin
When pain and suffering strike, our faith is well founded if it is standing on the promises of God. For all of God's promises have strong confirmation in Christ.
John Calvin
It is certain that not one drop of rain falls without God's sure command.
John Calvin
They babble and talk absurdly who, in the place of God's providence, substitute bare permission - as if God sat in a watchtower awaiting chance events , and his judgments thus depended upon human will.
John Calvin
All things being at God's disposal, and the decision of salvation or death belonging to him, he orders all things by his counsel and decree in such a manner, that some men are born devoted from the womb to certain death, that his name may be glorified in their destruction.
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
Every one of us is, even from his mother's womb, a master craftsman of idols.
John Calvin
You cannot imagine a more certain rule or a more powerful suggestion than this, that all the blessings we enjoy are divine deposits which we have received on this condition that we distribute them to others.
John Calvin
Doctrine is not an affair of the tongue but of the life.
John Calvin
Our true wisdom is to embrace with meek docility, and without reservation, whatever the holy scriptures have delivered.
John Calvin
Again I ask whence it happened that the fall of Adam involved, without remedy, in eternal death so many nations, together with their infant children, except because it so seemed good to God? A decree horrible, I confess, and yet true.
John Calvin
The excellence of the Church does not consist in multitude but in purity.
John Calvin
When God designs to forgive us he changes our hearts and turns us to obedience by His Spirit.
John Calvin
Nothing, including human suffering, happens by chance.
John Calvin
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
Lawful worship consists in obedience alone.
John Calvin
Where God's Spirit does not reign, there is no humility, and men ever swell with inward pride.
John Calvin
Christ is the most perfect image of God, into which we are so renewed as to bear the image of God, in knowledge, purity, righteousness, and true holiness.
John Calvin
