More quotes by John Calvin

John Calvin
Things that are seen are temporal things that are unseen are eternal.
John Calvin
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
God orders what we cannot do, that we may know what we ought to ask him.
John Calvin
Prayer is the chief exercise of faith.
John Calvin
Whomever the Lord has adopted and deemed worthy of His fellowship ought to prepare themselves for a hard, toilsome, and unquiet life, crammed with very many and various kinds of evil.
John Calvin
