John Calvin
The Human heart is an idol factory.
John Calvin

John Calvin

John Calvin

John Calvin

John Calvin
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.
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
Christ is much more powerful to save, than Adam was to destroy.
John Calvin
Joy is a quiet gladness of heart as one contemplates the goodness of God's saving grace in Christ Jesus.
John Calvin
Everyone flatters himself and carries a kingdom in his breast.
John Calvin
We are not to reflect on the wickedness of men but to look to the image of God in them, an image which, covering and obliterating their faults, an image which, by its beauty and dignity, should allure us to love and embrace them.
John Calvin
When the Bible speaks, God speaks.
John Calvin
We should never insult others on account of their faults, for it is our duty to show charity and respect to everyone.
John Calvin
If the gospel be not preached, Jesus Christ is, as it were, buried.
John Calvin
Christ is the most perfect image of God, into which we are so renewed as to bear the image of God, in knowledge, purity, righteousness, and true holiness.
John Calvin
