Tag: <span>christ in me</span>


I want to do the work of God, but often I feel so inadequate. Then I’m reminded of the words of Jesus:

“Apart from me  you can do nothing I am the Vine, you  are the branches, If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit. John 15:5

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.
( 2 Corinthians 9:8)

Being totally dependent upon God is one of the hardest things we Christians have to do in life. We fear the helplessness of it. We want to be in control. Still God cannot work unless we surrender to Him. His way is always to work through weakness.

When we surrender to Him then He can do His work in us and through us.

winter scene Devotional

Jesus not only did a work for us; he does a work in us! Colossians 1:27 tells us, The mystery in a nutshell is just this– Christ is in you. He commands our hands and feet, requisitions our minds and tongues. Romans 8:29 declares, “He decided from the outset to shape the lives of those who love him along the same lines as the life of his Son.”

We’ll never be sinless, but we will sin less. And when we do sin, we have this assurance: the grace that saved us also preserves us. We may lose our tempers, our perspective, and our self-control. But we never lose our hope. Scripture promises “He is able to keep you from stumbling, and to present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy!” (Jude 24).
