Ye Can Do Nothing 2

John 15:5: I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

Philippians 4:13: I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

Getting a little understanding of how totally helpless I was without Him contributed greatly to my willingness to receive Jesus. Since I received Him, understanding that I cannot live a life that is pleasing to Him without His help contributes directly to what He accomplishes in me and in my life.

Colossians 2:6: As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him:

I could only receive Him in my own total helplessness and in total dependence upon Him. And I can only walk in Him in my own total helplessness and in total dependence upon Him. We might all be helped to depend totally upon Him if we consider just a few of the things we could not do without Him.

We could not exist, live or move, physically or spiritually.

We could never come to Jesus or be resurrected.

John 6:44: No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.
