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 (1509–1564)
Music: A Gift from God
Among other things adapted for man’s pleasure and for giving them pleasure, music is either the foremost, or one of the principal; and we must esteem it as a gift from God for that purpose.
— John Calvin (1509–1564)
Prayer and God’s Goodness
There is nothing meritorious in our prayers… Whenever God hears them, it is in exercise of His free goodness.
— John Calvin

We cannot learn fear of God and the basic principles of godliness, unless we are pierced by the sword of the Spirit and destroyed. It is as if God were saying that to rank among his sons our ordinary natures must be wiped out.
— John Calvin
Christ’s Death
There is no tribunal so magnificent, no throne so stately, no show of triumph so distinguished, no chariot so elevated, as is the gibbet on which Christ hath subdued death and the devil.
— John Calvin (1509–1564)
