John Calvin Quotes


An influential French theologian and pastor during the Protestant Reformation.
John Calvin (Middle French: Jean Cauvin; 10 July 1509 – 27 May 1564) was an influential French theologian and pastor during the Protestant Reformation. He was a principal figure in the development of the system of Christian theology later called Calvinism. Originally trained as a humanist lawyer, he broke from the Roman Catholic Church around 1530. After religious tensions provoked a violent uprising against Protestants in France, Calvin fled to Basel, Switzerland, where he published the first edition of his seminal work Institutes of the Christian Religion in 1536.

Here are some famous quotes by John Calvin.   

Faith is a knowledge of the benevolence of God toward us and a certain persuasion of His veracity.

[MysteRy]

Faith consists not in ignorance but in knowledge and that not only of God but also of the divine will.

[MysteRy]

The answer of our prayers is secured by the fact that in rejecting them God would in a certain sense deny His own nature.
