More quotes by John Calvin

If everything proceeded according to their wishes, they would not understand what it means to follow God.
John Calvin
The denial of ourselves which Christ has so diligently commanded his disciples from the beginning will at last dominate all the desires of our heart.
John Calvin
The excellence of the Church does not consist in multitude but in purity.
John Calvin
God does not bestow his spirit on his people in order to set aside the use of his word, but rather to render it fruitful.
John Calvin
Hypocrisy can plunge the mind of a man into a dark abyss, when he believes his own self-flattery instead of God's verdict.
John Calvin
God orders what we cannot do, that we may know what we ought to ask him.
John Calvin
