Why is it impossible to do this in your own strength? How has Christ helped you in following Him?
-
I, as a human, am fallible and prone to err but Jesus cannot err so with His guidance I can confront false teaching with courage, love and with the correct Scripture to use at that time.

Apart from the Holy Spirit, my sinful nature would constantly be in rebellion against God and His will for my life.

It is impossible to do things in your own strength because all fall short to the glory of God. Sin entered our world and because of that we are limited in our strength. Christ has helped me in following Him because time and time again I fail when I do things on my own. I moment I surrendered to God my “problems/burdens/issues/anxieties”, he takes hold of them and puts them into perspective. It is not that God makes difficult situations disappear, but He removes the sting and takes on their burdens.

We are simple humans who have a limited view on the world. Without God helping us and guiding us in this life, we would never amount to anything.
God has shown me that through prayer i have peace during my difficult times. Also He is my shelter when life gets in the way.

We all suffer from the fall of man in the garden. We cannot reach God on our own accord, we need Jesus to bridge the gap.
