Due to original sin, all humans are fallen, and do not have the ability to free themselves from sin. We must call on the Lord for help should we truly want to be released from the slavery of sin.

Because our own strength is based our flesh and its sinful desires – It is only possible to live the Christian life through the power of the Holy spirit which transforms our sinful nature to talk in the Spirit.

It is impossible because all faith, election, and desire is from God. Christ has helped me by, dying for me so that I could even come to the Father. He has given me the Holy Spirit to help me in my weakness. He has given me faith to believe, and support to continue. I am nothing without Christ.

He has given me a church family to help teach me, fellowship with me and correct me when needed. With His help and theirs I have grown a lot in the last few years.
