John Calvin Quotes:
"Men do nothing save at the secret instigation of God, and do not discuss and deliberate on anything but what he has previously decreed with himself, and brings to pass by his secret direction." ["Institutes," Book 1, Chapter 18, Section 1]
"All are not created on equal terms, but some are preordained to eternal life, others to eternal damnation." ["Institutes," Book 3, Chapter 21, Section 5]
"[T]here could be no election without its opposite reprobation....Those, therefore, whom God passes by he reprobates, and that for no other cause but because he is pleased to exclude them...." ["Institutes," Book 3, Chapter 23, Section 1]
"[T]he reprobate are sometimes affected in a way so similar to the elect, that even in their own judgment there is no difference between them....[T]he Lord, the better to convict them, and leave them without excuse, instills into their minds such a sense of his goodness as can be felt without the Spirit of adoption." ["Institutes," Book 3, Chapter 2, Section 11]
