More quotes by John Calvin
There is nothing in afflictions which ought to disturb our joy.
John Calvin
A perfect faith is nowhere to be found, so it follows that all of us are partly unbelievers.
John Calvin
Free will is an empty term.
John Calvin
But a most pernicious error widely prevails that Scripture has only so much weight as is conceded to it by the consent of the church. As if the eternal and inviolable truth of God depended upon the decision of men!
John Calvin
But as a heathen tells us, there is no nation so barbarous, no race so brutish as not to be imbued with the conviction that there is a God.
John Calvin
Human will does not by liberty obtain grace, but by grace obtains liberty.
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
Our true and genuine wisdom can be summed up as the knowledge of God and the knowledge of ourselves.
John Calvin
All whom the Lord has chosen and received into the society of his saints ought to prepare themselves for a life that is hard, difficult, laborious and full of countless griefs.
John Calvin
Who will venture to place the authority of Copernicus above that of the Holy Spirit?
John Calvin
Our assurance, our glory, and the sole anchor of our salvation are that Christ the Son of God is ours, and we in turn are in him sons of God and heirs of the Kingdom of Heaven, called to the hope of eternal blessedness by God's grace, not by our worth.
John Calvin
The human heart has so many crannies where vanity hides, so many holes where falsehood works, is so decked out with deceiving hypocrisy, that it often dupes itself.
John Calvin
A soul, therefore, when deprived of the Word of God, is given up unarmed to the devil for destruction
John Calvin
You cannot imagine a more certain rule or a more powerful suggestion than this, that all the blessings we enjoy are divine deposits which we have received on this condition that we distribute them to others.
John Calvin
Warned by such evidences of their spiritual illness, believers profit by their humiliations. Robbed of their foolish confidence in the flesh, they take refuge in the grace of God. And when they have done so, they experience the nearness of the divine protection which is to them a strong fortress (Ps 30:6-7).
John Calvin
We must make the invisible kingdom visible in our midst.
John Calvin
If there had been any unbelief in Mary, that could not prevent God from accomplishing his work in any other way which he might choose. But she is called blessed, because she received by faith the blessing offered to her, and opened up the way to God for its accomplishment.
John Calvin
To be Christians under the law of grace does not mean to wander unbridled outside the law, but to be engrafted in Christ, by whose grace we are free from the curse of the law, and by whose Spirit we have the law engraved upon our hearts.
John Calvin
But a faithful believer will in all circumstances mediate on the mercy and fatherly goodness of God.
John Calvin
In our good works nothing is our own.
John Calvin
