We can only begin an upright course of life when God, of his good pleasure, adopts us into his family.
— 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
Predestination
The only people who believe are those who had been appointed to eternal life. God only grants the gift of faith to those who are predestined to salvation. He chose us, and to those he has he gives the power to believe.
— 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
