Quote by John Calvin

No man is excluded from calling upon God, the gate of salvation is set open unto all men: neither is there any other thing which keepeth us back from entering in, save only our own unbelief.

No man is excluded from calling upon God, the gate of salvat

Summary

This quote asserts that every person has equal access to seek God's help and salvation. The "gate of salvation" is metaphorically depicted as being open to all individuals, without any exclusion. The only obstacle that prevents people from entering into this salvation is their personal lack of belief or faith. In other words, it suggests that individuals have the ability to connect with God and receive salvation, but their skepticism or disbelief prevents them from doing so. Therefore, the quote emphasizes that it is the individual's own unbelief that hinders them from seeking God's assistance.
