Doing a Great Job?

Anyone who thinks they are doing a great job of keeping themselves from sin, is prideful and may not even be born again.

If we are not sinning for the moment, it is not us but Christ in us Who is keeping and guiding us.

He is our strength, we have none of our own to boast about.

Philippians 4:13
"I can do all things through him who strengthens me."

See that? He strengthens us!

Deuteronomy 31:6
"Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you.”

See that? "The Lord your God goes with you."

Isaiah 41:10
"Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."

See that? God says, "I will strengthen you."

Isaiah 40:31
"But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint."

See that? It is the Lord Who renews our strength.

Do we get it now? It is God we must trust not only for salvation but for everything else too. We cannot count on our own strength to get us through this life, Christ lives in us and we must trust Him.
