More quotes by John Calvin
In vain people busy themselves with finding any good of man's own in his will. For any mixture of the power of freewill that men strive to mingle with God's grace is nothing but a corruption of grace. It is just as if one were to dilute wine with muddy, bitter water.
John Calvin
The whole comes to this, that Christ, when he produces faith in us by the agency of his Spirit, at the same time ingrafts us into his body, that we may become partakers of all spiritual blessings.
John Calvin
Wherever we see the Word of God purely preached and heard, there a church of God exists, even if it swarms with many faults.
John Calvin
There can be no courage in men unless God supports them by his Word.
John Calvin
Involvement in public life provides the opportunity to shape our manners in accordance with civil justice.
John Calvin
Christ is much more powerful to save, than Adam was to destroy.
John Calvin
When our faith is tested by suffering as gold is tried in a furnace and we depend with confidence on God and rely entirely on his help, we will be granted the most excellent gift of patience and through faith we may victoriously persevere to the end.
John Calvin
We shall never be fit for the service of God, if we look not beyond this fleeting life.
John Calvin
We must make the invisible kingdom visible in our midst.
John Calvin
Without knowledge of self there is no knowledge of God.
John Calvin
We must resist wandering thoughts in prayer. Raising our hands reminds us that we need to raise up our minds to God, setting aside all irrelevant thoughts.
John Calvin
For though we very truly hear that the kingdom of God will be filled with splendor, joy, happiness and glory, yet when these things are spoken of, they remain utterly remote from our perception, and as it were, wrapped in obscurities, until that day.
John Calvin
Lawful worship consists in obedience alone.
John Calvin
Knowledge of the sciences is so much smoke apart from the heavenly science of Christ.
John Calvin
Whenever our sins press hard against us, whenever Satan would drive us to despair, we must hold up this shield, that God does not want us to be overwhelmed in everlasting destruction, for He has ordained His Son to be the salvation of the world.
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
When pain and suffering strike, our faith is well founded if it is standing on the promises of God. For all of God's promises have strong confirmation in Christ.
John Calvin
This is plainly to ascribe divinity to 'free will.'
John Calvin
There are babies a span long in hell.
John Calvin
It is evident that man never attains to a true self-knowledge until he has previously contemplated the face of God, and come down after such contemplation to look into himself.
John Calvin
