More quotes by John Calvin
Doctrine is not an affair of the tongue but of the life.
John Calvin
Each eye can have its vision separately but when we are looking at anything our vision, which in itself is divided, joins up and unites in order to give itself as a whole to the object that is put before it.
John Calvin
The highest honor in the church is not government but service.
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
We cannot rely on God's promises without obeying his commandments.
John Calvin
How can it be said that the weakness of the human will is aided so as to enable it to aspire effectually to the choice of good, when the fact is, that it must be wholly transformed and renewed?
John Calvin

John Calvin
God is not limited to any person, but calls freely whomsoever He pleases, and bestows on those who are called whatever rewards He thinks fit.
John Calvin
We are surrounded by God’s benefits. The best use of these benefits is an unceasing expression of gratitude.
John Calvin
The sum is, that the worship of God must be spiritual, in order that it may correspond with His nature.

John Calvin
Faith is the evidence of divine adoption.
John Calvin
If everything proceeded according to their wishes, they would not understand what it means to follow God.
John Calvin
Joy is a quiet gladness of heart as one contemplates the goodness of God's saving grace in Christ Jesus.
John Calvin
They babble and talk absurdly who, in the place of God's providence, substitute bare permission - as if God sat in a watchtower awaiting chance events , and his judgments thus depended upon human will.
John Calvin
Involvement in public life provides the opportunity to shape our manners in accordance with civil justice.
John Calvin
A dog barks when his master is attacked. I would be a coward if I saw that God's truth is attacked and yet would remain silent.
John Calvin
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
