Faith does not proceed from ourselves, but is the fruit of spiritual regeneration.

John Calvin

Christ is much more powerful to save, than Adam was to destroy.
JOHN CALVIN

Destroy Powerful Save
My heart I give you, Lord, eagerly and entirely.
JOHN CALVIN

Heart Myself Yourself
Sometimes it seems things go by too quickly. We are so busy watching out for what’s just ahead of us that we don’t take the time to enjoy where we are.
JOHN CALVIN

Busy Enjoyment Present Quick Time

For what is idolatry if not this: to worship the gifts in place of the Giver himself?
JOHN CALVIN

Fools Gift God Himself Place Stupidity Worship
The first part of a good work is the will, the second is vigorous effort in the doing of it. God is the author of both. It is, therefore, robbery from God to arrogate anything to ourselves, either in the will or the act.
JOHN CALVIN

It is a most blessed thing to be subject to the sovereignty of God.

Repentance is the true turning of our life to God, a turning that arises from a pure and earnest fear of Him; and it consists in the mortification of the flesh and the renewing of the Spirit.

Unless God’s Word illumine the way, the whole life of men is wrapped in darkness and mist, so that they cannot but miserably stray.
JOHN CALVIN

We must not think that [God] takes no notice of us, when He does not answer our wishes: for He has a right to distinguish what we actually need.
JOHN CALVIN

God Himself Need Ourselves Prayer Right Thinking
There is no worse screen to block out the Spirit than confidence in our own intelligence.
