Veni, Domine Jesu - Come, Lord Jesus

"Turn to me and be saved, all the ends of the earth! For I am God, and there is no other.
By myself I have sworn; from my mouth has gone out in righteousness a word that shall not return:
To me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear allegiance." - Isaiah 45:22-23 (ESV)

"Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts" - Psalm 95:7b-8a (ESV)

"Blessed is the one whose transfression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
Blessed is the man against whom the LORD counts no iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no deceit." - Psalm 32:1-2 (ESV)

John Calvin - what value does it have before the judgement-seat of God?

The virtues which deceive us by an empty show may have their praise in civil society and the common intercourse of life, but before the judgement-seat of God they will be of no value to establish a claim of righteousness.


- John Calvin (Institutes of the Christian Religion, 2.3.4)
