Involvement in public life provides the opportunity to shape our manners in accordance with civil justice.
John Calvin

John Calvin

John Calvin

John Calvin

John Calvin

John Calvin
No man can come to God but by an extraordinary revelation of the Spirit.
John Calvin
Doctrine is not an affair of the tongue but of the life.
John Calvin
There are babies a span long in hell.
John Calvin
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
It is amazing how much our lack of trust provokes God if we request of him a boon that we do not expect
John Calvin
We must always speak of the efficacy of the ministry in such a manner that the entire praise of the work may be reserved for God alone.
John Calvin
In knowing God, each of us also knows himself.
John Calvin
We must remember that Satan has his miracles, too.
John Calvin
The whole comes to this, that Christ, when he produces faith in us by the agency of his Spirit, at the same time ingrafts us into his body, that we may become partakers of all spiritual blessings.
John Calvin
