Image
The whole gospel is contained in Christ.
John Calvin
Image
We are surrounded by God’s benefits. The best use of these benefits is an unceasing expression of gratitude.
John Calvin
Image
We must make the invisible kingdom visible in our midst.
John Calvin
Image
Our prayer must not be self-centered. It must arise not only because we feel our own need as a burden we must lay upon God, but also because we are so bound up in love for our fellow men that we feel their need as acutely as our own. To make intercession for men is the most powerful and practical way in which we can express our love for them.
John Calvin
Image
All men were created to busy themselves with the labor for the common good.
John Calvin
Image
If God were not to test us, there would be no patience.
John Calvin
Image
I gave up all for Christ, and what have I found? Everything in Christ.
John Calvin
Image
It is faith alone that justifies, but faith that justifies can never be alone.
John Calvin
Image
For though we very truly hear that the kingdom of God will be filled with splendor, joy, happiness and glory, yet when these things are spoken of, they remain utterly remote from our perception, and as it were, wrapped in obscurities, until that day.
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
Knowledge of the sciences is so much smoke apart from the heavenly science of Christ.
John Calvin
Image
That man is truly humble who neither claims any personal merit in the sight of God, nor proudly despises brethren, or aims at being thought superior to them, but reckons it enough that he is one of the members of Christ, and desires nothing more than that the Head alone should be exalted.
John Calvin
Image
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
Image
Augustine does not disagree with this when he teaches that it is a faculty of the reason and the will to choose good with the assistance of grace evil, when grace is absent.
John Calvin
Image
We can experience joy in adverse circumstances by holding God's benefits in such esteem that the recognition of them and meditation upon them shall overcome all sorrow.
John Calvin
Image
If people mean that man has in himself the power to work in partnership with God's grace they are most wretchedly deluding themselves.
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
True faith is ever connected with hope.
John Calvin
Image
Faith is a knowledge of the benevolence of God toward us, and a certain persuasion of His veracity.
John Calvin
Image
If the gospel be not preached, Jesus Christ is, as it were, buried.
John Calvin
