More quotes by John Calvin

Image
We shall never be clothed with the righteousness of Christ except we first know assuredly that we have no righteousness of our own.
John Calvin
Image
We should ask God to increase our hope when it is small, awaken it when it is dormant, confirm it when it is wavering, strengthen it when it is weak, and raise it up when it is overthrown.
John Calvin
Image
The blindness of unbelievers in no way detracts from the clarity of the gospel the sun is no less bright because blind men do not perceive its light.
John Calvin
Image
Whoever shall now contend that it is unjust to put heretics and blasphemers to death will knowingly and willingly incur their very guilt.
John Calvin
Image
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
Image
A man will be justified by faith when, excluded from righteousness of works, he by faith lays hold of the righteousness of Christ, and clothed in it, appears in the sight of God not as a sinner, but as righteous.
John Calvin
Image
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
Image
The sum is, that the worship of God must be spiritual, in order that it may correspond with His nature. For although Moses only speaks of idolatry, yet there is no doubt but that by synecdoche, as in all the rest of the law, he condemns all fictitious services which men in their ingenuity have invented.
John Calvin
Image
When we see that the whole sum of our salvation, and every single part of it, are comprehended in Christ, we must beware of deriving even the minutest portion of it from any other quarter.
John Calvin
Image
Seeing God hath thus set us at liberty, what rashness it is for worms of the earth to make new laws as though God had not been wise enough.
John Calvin
Image
As by the revolt of the first man, the image of God could be effaced from his mind and soul, so there is nothing strange in His shedding some rays of grace on the reprobate, and afterwards allowing these to be extinguished.
John Calvin
Image
All truth is God's truth.
John Calvin
Image
Let our chief goal, O God, be your glory, and to enjoy You forever.
John Calvin
Image
There is no place for faith if we expect God to fulfill immediately what he promises.
John Calvin
Image
No Task will be so sordid and base, provided you obey your calling in it, that it will not shine and be reckoned very precious in God's sight.
John Calvin
Image
No man can come to God but by an extraordinary revelation of the Spirit.
John Calvin
Image
If we are given gold, would we not test it to determine it's value? If we doubted its genuineness - we would test it by fire...and so God with us.
John Calvin
Image
Where God's Spirit does not reign, there is no humility, and men ever swell with inward pride.
John Calvin
Image
It is faith alone that justifies, but faith that justifies can never be alone.
John Calvin
Image
If a preacher is not first preaching to himself, better that he falls on the steps of the pulpit and breaks his neck than preaches that sermon.
