Why is it impossible to do this in your own strength? How has Christ helped you in following Him?

Before I had a relationship with Christ, it was not possible to follow in in my own strength. When I tried this without Christ, it was inconsistent, in vain, and I kept getting pulled away by wordly things. Now Christ has helped me stay focused on Him, strengthened me and sustained me, and the Holy Spirit has guided me.

Because we have no power on our own. It’s only thru the empowerment of the Holy Spirit can we hope to live how Christ wants us to

We can only walk with Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit, as we submit ourselves to him and are transformed into His likeness.

MY own strength is through the flesh and that is sin and I must rely on Christ and the Holy Spirit to give me strength to confront evil. I need to live the obedient life that God has chosen for me and to be the “salt and sugar” to others and I can not do it alone and only through the power of the Lord am I able to spread the Word to others.

I cannot reply on my own strength to follow Christ because of my sinful nature, which contradicts with the Godly nature of Christ. I can only rely on the Spirit to help me walk with Christ.
