“Is it faith to understand nothing, and merely submit your convictions implicitly to the Church? ”

“...a man will be justified by faith when, excluded from righteousness of works, he by faith lays hold of the righteousness of Christ, and clothed in it, appears in the sight of God not as a sinner, but as righteous...”

“A perfect faith is nowhere to be found, so it follows that all of us are partly unbelievers.”

“It would be the height of absurdity to label ignorance tempered by humility "faith"!(Institutio III.2.3)”

“They who strive to build up a firm faith in Scripture through disputation are doing things backwards.”

“It is a promise which eminently deserves our observation that all who are united to Christ and acknowledge Him to be Christ and Mediator will remain to the end safe from all danger, for what is said of the body of the Church belongs to each of its members since they are one in Christ.”

“The whole world is a theatre for the display of the divine goodness, wisdom, justice, and power, but the Church is the orchestra, as it were—the most conspicuous part of it; and the nearer the approaches are that God makes to us, the more intimate and condescending the communication of his benefits, the more attentively are we called to consider them.”
