“The gospel is not a call to do something, but an announcement of what
has been done.
For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is
the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and
also to the Greek. Romans 1:16
Victorious Christian living comes by accepting what Christ has already
done for us, understanding who our heavenly Father is and who we are ‘in
Christ’ and then choosing to live by faith in the power of the Holy Spirit,
according to what God says is true. ...no amount of human effort can accomplish
what Christ has already accomplished for us.
The Christian life cannot be lived by our own strength and resources.
God in His goodness and His desire for us to learn the truth will bring us to
the end of our resources in order that we may discover His.
There is only one Christian life, and that is the life of Christ.
The disciples asked Jesus, ‘What must we do to do the works God
requires?’ Jesus answered, ‘The work of God is this: to believe in the one he
has sent’ (John 6:28, 29)
Are you depending on what you do to live the Christian life in freedom
or on what Christ has done?”
