Unless men establish their complete happiness in God, they will never give themselves truly and sincerely to him.
John CalvinThere is not one blade of grass, there is no color in this world that is not intended to make men rejoice.
John CalvinSince no daily responses are given from heaven, and the Scriptures are the only record in which God has been pleased to consign His truth to perpetual remembrance, the full authority which they ought to possess with the faithful is not recognized unless they are believed to have come from heaven as directly as if God had been heard giving utterance to them.
