The blindness of unbelievers in no way detracts from the clarity of the gospel; the sun is no less bright because blind men do not perceive its light.
John CalvinFor Scripture is the school of the Holy Spirit, in which, as nothing is omitted that is both necessary and useful to know, so nothing is taught but what is expedient to know. Therefore we must guard against depriving believers of anything disclosed about predestination in Scripture, lest we seem either wickedly to defraud them of the blessing of their God or to accuse and scoff at the Holy Spirit for having published what it is in any way profitable to suppress.
John CalvinWe are nowhere forbidden to laugh, or be satisfied with food...or to be delighted with music or to drink wine.
John CalvinScripture is like a pair of spectacles which dispels the darkness and gives us a clear view of God.
