John Calvin Love Quotations

The Lord commands us to do good unto all men without exception, though the majority are very undeserving when judged according to their own merits... [The Scripture] teaches us that we must not think of man's real value, but only of his creation in the image of God to which we owe all possible honor and love.

To make intercession for men is the most powerful and practical way in which we can express our love for them.

We are not to look to what men in themselves deserve but to attend to the image of God which exists in all and to which we owe all honor and love.

Whatever a person may be like, we must still love them because we love God.
