John Calvin Mingled vanity and pride appear in this, that when miserable men do seek after God, instead of ascending higher than themselves as they ought to do, they measure him by their own carnal stupidity, and neglecting solid inquiry, fly off to indulge their curiosity in vain speculation. (Inst. 1.4.1) http://bit.ly/1xdjlj

Freddy Alcaino Romanos, 13:4 Pero hay quienes son ministros de Dios para proteger al inocente, para infundir temor a los malhechores y que no deben esgrimir en vano la espada pues son servidores de Dios, vengador para castigar al que hace lo malo.
John Calvin The knowledge of God, which is set before us in the Scriptures, is designed for the same purpose as that which shines in creation, viz., that we may thereby learn to worship him with perfect integrity of heart and unfeigned obedience, and also to depend entirely on his goodness.

Poloe E. Dockery We are the salt of the world. and the light We are to preserve the word as well as win souls to the cross. Salt irritates! light hurts the eyes and brings discomfort to those living in darkness.Yet we share it in the Love of God. So as the late Dr. Kennedy would say " I rather be sugar than salt so that the whole world will Love me...but God has caused me to be salt because he so Loved the world

John Calvin It is certain that after the fall of our first parent, no knowledge of God without a Mediator was effectual to salvation. Christ speaks not of his own age merely, but embraces all ages, when he says “This is life eternal that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent,” John 17: 3.

John Calvin It were cold and lifeless to represent God as a momentary Creator, who completed his work once for all, and then left it. (Inst. 1.16.1)
John Calvin Were we to make a trial of subtlety, it would not be difficult to refute the sophistry of Thomas [Aquinas]. (full post is too long for FB. Click link below to read the rest. Requires approx. 41.7 seconds to read)

Were we to make a trial of subtlety, it would not be difficult to refute the sophistry of Thomas. He maintains that the elect are in a manner predestinated to glory on account of their merits, because God predestines to give them the grace by which they merit glory. ...

John Calvin By piety I mean that union of reverence and love to God which the knowledge of his benefits inspires. For, until men feel that they owe everything to God, that they are cherished by his paternal care, and that he is the author of all their blessings, so that nought is to be looked for away from him, they wi...ll never...yield up their whole selves to him in truth and sincerity.
