More quotes by John Calvin
Everyone flatters himself and carries a kingdom in his breast.
John Calvin
Wherever we find the Word of God surely preached and heard, and the sacraments administered according to the institution of Christ, there, it is not to be doubted, is a church of God.
John Calvin
Free will does not enable any man to perform good works, unless he is assisted by grace indeed, the special grace which the elect alone receive through regeneration. For I stay not to consider the extravagance of those who say that grace is offered equally and promiscuously to all
John Calvin
The glory of God shines, indeed, in all creatures on high and below, but never more brightly than in the cross.
John Calvin
The Angels are the dispensers and administrators of the Divine beneficence toward us. They regard our safety, undertake our defense, direct our ways, and exercise a constant solicitude that no evil befall us.
John Calvin
This is plainly to ascribe divinity to 'free will.'
John Calvin
Every one of us is, even from his mother's womb, a master craftsman of idols.
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
When we recognize the rod of a father, should we not show ourselves docile children rather than rebelliously desperate men who have been hardened in their evil doings?
John Calvin
The Lord has given us a table at which to feast, not an altar on which a victim is to be offered He has not consecrated priests to make sacrifice, but servants to distribute the sacred feast.
John Calvin
All men were created to busy themselves with the labor for the common good.
John Calvin
There is not one blade of grass, there is no color in this world that is not intended to make men rejoice.
John Calvin
The principle exercise which the children of god have is to pray. For in this way they give true proof of their faith.
John Calvin
It is a sign of a perverse and treacherous disposition to wound the good name of another, when he has no opportunity of defending himself.
John Calvin
We are promised abundance of all good things--yet we are rich only in hunger and thirst. What would become of us if we did not take our stand on hope, and if our heart did not hasten beyond this world!
John Calvin
Without knowledge of self there is no knowledge of God Our wisdom, in so far as it ought to be deemed true and solid Wisdom, consists almost entirely of two parts: the knowledge of God and of ourselves. But as these are connected together by many ties, it is not easy to determine which of the two precedes and gives birth to the other.
John Calvin
We shall never be fit for the service of God, if we look not beyond this fleeting life.
John Calvin
It is certain that not one drop of rain falls without God's sure command.
John Calvin
Unless we fix certain hours in the day for prayer, it easily slips from our memory.
John Calvin
The name of Christ excludes all merit of our own.
John Calvin
