Is it faith to understand nothing, and merely submit your convictions implicitly to the Church? – John Calvin
Mans mind is like a store of idolatry and superstition so much so that if a man believes his own mind it is certain that he will forsake God and forge some idol in his own brain. – John Calvin
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
However many blessings we expect from God, His infinite liberality will always exceed all our wishes and our thoughts. – John Calvin
