John Calvin
“A dog barks when his master is attacked. I would be a coward if I saw that God's truth is attacked and yet would remain silent”
John Calvin

John Calvin
“It would be the height of absurdity to label ignorance tempered by humility "faith"!
(Institutio III.2.3)”
John Calvin

John Calvin
“This is why Paul upholds the teaching of the gospel in such a forceful way ... Seeing such an example and such a picture of man’s great weakness and fickleness, Paul states that the truth of the gospel must supersede anything that we may devise … he is showing us that we ought to know the substance of the doctrine which is brought to us in the name of God, so that our faith can be fully grounded upon it. Then we will not be tossed about with every wind, nor will we wander about aimlessly, changing our opinions a hundred times a day; we will persist in this doctrine until the end. This, in brief, is what we must remember.”
John Calvin, Sermons on Galatians

John Calvin
“We should ask God to increase our hope when it is small, awaken it when it is dormant, confirm it when it is wavering, strengthen it when it is weak, and raise it up when it is overthrown.”
John Calvin

John Calvin
“...a man will be justified by faith when, excluded from righteousness of works, he by faith lays hold of the righteousness of Christ, and clothed in it, appears in the sight of God not as a sinner, but as righteous...”
John Calvin
