Philippians 4:13 and John 15:5 form the foundation of the life of a follower of Jesus, but too often, we don’t believe them, don’t understand them or simply don’t put them into practice. Our salvation is entirely and completely dependent upon the power of Christ and His sacrifice for us, and there is no sinner too far gone for the power of Christ’s love to pull them back and no sin too difficult and too dirty for the blood of Jesus to wash it clean. What do we do now after we’ve surrendered our lives to Jesus? It is now the will of God for us to become like Jesus and continue His work. How do we do that? In our own flesh, we are no more righteous than we were before we got saved. In our own power, we are no more able to keep the rules than before we got saved. How in the world can He expect us to be like Jesus? By continuing to walk in The Power of I Can’t.
