““But we who are being saved know it is the very power of God” (1 Corinthians 1:18 NLT). What was previously impossible to do in our own ability, we can now do: walk in His ways. We can now imitate God. We can now follow Jesus. To sum it up, it’s impossible to follow Jesus without denying our self (forsaking our own ways and embracing His supreme authority) and taking up the cross (incorporating its empowerment to walk away from sin and the world’s system). The life we now live is by faith in His ability working in and through us. We draw from Him. What a glorious package of salvation God has provided for us!””
