John Calvin Quote: “The name of Christ excludes all merit of our own.”
John Calvin Quote: “In a way, the futile excuses many people use to cover their superstitions are demolished. They think it is enough to have some sort of religious fervor, however ridiculous, not realizing that true religion must be according to God’s will as the perfect measure; that He can never deny Himself and is no mere spirit form to be changed around according to individual preference.”
John Calvin Quote: “Every person, on coming to the knowledge of himself, is not only urged to seek God, but is also led as by the hand to find Him.”
John Calvin Quote: “Whether each of the faithful has a particular angel assigned him for his defense, I cannot venture certainly to affirm; not one angel only has the care of every one of us, but that all the angels together with one consent watch over our salvation...”
John Calvin Quote: “This is how we can distinguish true religion from superstition: when the Word of God directs us, there is true religion; but when each man follows his own opinion, or when men join together to follow an opinion they hold in common, the result is always concocted superstition.”
John Calvin Quote: “Angels are the dispensers and administrators of the divine beneficence toward us.”
John Calvin Quote: “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 Quote: “Nobody seriously believes the universe was made by God without being persuaded that He takes care of His works.”

If we put ourselves in such a frame of mind, then, whatever may happen to us, we shall never feel miserable or accuse God falsely because of our lot.”
John Calvin Quote: “Life is not found in commandments or declarations of penalties, but in the promise of mercy and only in a gratuitous promise.”
