Only those who have learned well to be earnestly dissatisfied with themselves, and to be confounded with shame at their wretchedness truly understand the Christian gospel.
No man is excluded from calling upon God, the gate of salvation is set open unto all men: neither is there any other thing which keepeth us back from entering in, save only our own unbelief.
God preordained, for his own glory and the display of His attributes of mercy and justice, a part of the human race, without any merit of their own, to eternal salvation, and another part, in just punishment of their sin, to eternal damnation.
![John Calvin Quote - 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.](https://minimalistquotes.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/we-must-not-think-that-god-takes-no-notice-of-us-w-1-683x1024.jpg)
