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.
What can we do without Jesus? Nothing.
Philippians 4:19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
So how much of our need can we supply? None.
James 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
So how many good gifts to we provide for ourselves? None.
1 Peter 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, 5 Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
God keeps us. We cannot keep ourselves.
Matthew 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
How much power do we have without Christ? None.
Thank God for these truths:
Luke 18:27 And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.
2 Corinthians 3:5 Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God;
Deuteronomy 8:18 But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.
