He who enables me to fight....

“’Did not God assist us, we should not only not be able to conquer, but not able even to fight.’ [Augustine]”

- John Calvin, Institutes of the Christian Religion Book II, Chap. V, section 14

The very fact that I am able to fight against sin and pursue righteousness, however feebly, ought to give me hope, in that God’s Spirit helps me and gives me a will to do good. Indeed, my heart should take great courage in the remembrance that He who enables me to fight is just as able to make me a conqueror in His good time.
