Calvin on the "Ticket to Heaven"
“It certainly is the part of a Christian man to ascend higher than merely to seek and secure the salvation of his own soul. There is no man imbued with true piety, who will not consider as insipid that long and labored exhortation to zeal for heavenly life, a zeal which keeps a man devoted entirely to himself, and does not, even by one expression, arouse him to sanctify the name of God.”
- John Calvin in his reply to Cardinal Sadoleto
