John Calvin Quotes About Aids

Quotes about: Aids

• Whenever the Lord holds us in suspense, and delays his aid, he is not therefore asleep, but, on the contrary, regulates all His works in such a manner that he does nothing but at the proper time.

  John Calvin

  Doe, Suspense, Delay

• Scripture will ultimately suffice for a saving knowledge of God only when its certainty is founded upon the inward persuasion of the Holy Spirit. Indeed, these human testimonies which exist to confirm it will not be vain if, as secondary aids to our feebleness, they follow that chief and highest testimony. But those who wish to prove to unbelievers that Scripture is the Word of God are acting foolishly, for only by faith can this be known.

  John Calvin

  Wish, Acting, Inward

• Prayers belong strictly to the worship of God. Fasting is a subordinate aid, which is pleasing to God no farther than as it aids the earnestness and fervency of prayer.

  John Calvin

  Prayer, Fasting, Worship

  John Calvin (2013). “Commentary on Luke”, p.88, Ravenio Books
