2 Cor 9:88 And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.(NIV)
Our sufficiency is Him. We are complete in Him. He has empowered us with mighty weapons able to pull down strongholds in the spirit. We are not looking at ourselves, nor our abilities, but in Him and His ability. Don't think by some special accomplishment you have gained favor or position with God, because it is Him in us that makes us able and well able. As Paul said I count all my personal accomplishments as rubbish, that I might gain the excellency of the knowledge of Christ. That I might "know" Him. That I might know who He is in me and who, exactly, I am in Him. What makes a Christian great is Jesus inside, nothing more and nothing less. It is Jesus and not my "brand of religion". It is Jesus and not my spiritual feats of strength. It is Jesus and not my "anything." It is Him in me, my only hope for glory! Where is your confidence today? If it is anywhere but in Him, you have failed the test. Be blessed.
Christian health-share. Christians helping Christians. Tell them I sent you.
