Christ was taken up into heaven, not to enjoy blessed rest at a distance from us, but to govern the world for the salvation of all believers.
— John Calvin
Image of God
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
Adoption
We can only begin an upright course of life when God, of his good pleasure, adopts us into his family.
— John Calvin
Godliness
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
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
