Because I know that I am not my own master, I offer my heart as a true sacrifice to the Lord.
John Calvin
Image
But as a heathen tells us, there is no nation so barbarous, no race so brutish as not to be imbued with the conviction that there is a God.
John Calvin
Image
God preordained, for his own glory and the display of His attributes of mercy and justice, a part of the human race, without any merit of their own, to eternal salvation, and another part, in just punishment of their sin, to eternal damnation.

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
Image
It is only the goodness of God sensibly experienced by us which opens our mouth to celebrate His praise.
John Calvin
Image
Those who set up a fictitious worship, merely worship and adore their own delirious fancies indeed, they would never dare so to trifle with God, had they not previously fashioned him after their own childish conceits.
John Calvin
Image
This is plainly to ascribe divinity to 'free will.'
John Calvin
Image
No man can come to God but by an extraordinary revelation of the Spirit.
John Calvin
Image
Integrity is the best of all protectors...we cannot be more secure than when fortified by a good conscience.
John Calvin
Image
True faith is ever connected with hope.
John Calvin
Image
God does not bestow his spirit on his people in order to set aside the use of his word, but rather to render it fruitful.
John Calvin
Image
Our assurance, our glory, and the sole anchor of our salvation are that Christ the Son of God is ours, and we in turn are in him sons of God and heirs of the Kingdom of Heaven, called to the hope of eternal blessedness by God's grace, not by our worth.
John Calvin
Image
If God contains the fullness of all good things in Himself like an inexhaustible fountain, nothing beyond Him is to be sought by those who strike after the highest good and all the elements of happiness.
