    “And a little later we shall see that all the books of Sacred Scripture far surpass all other writings. Yes, if we turn pure eyes and upright senses toward it, the majesty of God will immediately come to view, subdue our bold rejection, and compel us to obey.”

    -John Calvin: Institutes of the Christian Religion Book 1 Chapter 7 Section 4

    “What devilish madness is it to pretend that the use of Scripture, which leads the children of God even to the final goal, is fleeting or temporal?”

    – John Calvin: Institutes of the Christian Religion Book 1 Chapter 9 Section 1

    “The Holy Spirit is recognized in his agreement with Scripture. From this we readily understand that we ought zealously to apply ourselves both to read and to hearken to Scripture if indeed we want to receive any gain and benefit from the Spirit of God.”

    -John Calvin: Institutes of the Christian Religion Book 1 Chapter 9 Section 2
