Our strength vs. God's grace

"How foolish can you be? After starting your Christian lives in the Spirit, why are you now trying to become perfect by your own human effort? Have you experienced so much for nothing? Surely it was not in vain, was it?" Galatians 3:3-4

Accepting Jesus as Lord and savior of our life is an act of faith. But instead of submitting things that are not of Christ to him, we try to change by our own efforts. This is how we become stagnant and struggle with the same things constantly. We need God's grace and direction to love holy lives. What is it that you need to submit to Christ? Your attitude, language, friends, relationships, health, school, or work? You shouldn't be the same after accepting Christ. It's Friday! Have a great weekend :) 

"throw off your old sinful nature and your former way of life, which is corrupted by lust and deception. Instead, let the Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes. Put on your new nature, created to be like God—truly righteous and holy." Ephesians 4:22-24
