The Letter A

Admit you can do nothing.

Ephesians 2

8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

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. 

As we start our journey through the alphabet, let’s start at the beginning.

To become a Christian, you need to admit that you are unable to save yourself, you cannot reach God, you cannot come to God, because you are dead in your sin.

Physically you are alive, but spiritually, you are as dead as a do-do.

Unless the Lord quickens your heart, unless the spirit of God shines upon you, there is no hope for you. Jesus confronted the self righteous pharisees in the gospels, they thought that they were going to heaven.

All our so called righteousness is useless, we have to admit, that it is like dirty rags Isaiah 64:6, when the spirit of God moves in our hearts, it convicts us that we are sinners before a holy God.

My question is:

Have you ever admitted that you are lost and totally without hope?

That is one of the first things, that will lead you to the foot of the cross. You now can fling yourself upon Christ.

So admit, you are a sinner, cry out in repentance and faith to God.

A word to believers, we need to admit, that we can do nothing without CHRIST.

So often, we try and serve God in our own strength, we need to admit, that without Christ, we can do nothing.

The five bad churches in Revelation 2-3, thought they could do service without Christ. Remember Christian, what verse 5 says, you have to be connected to Christ.

He and he alone, is your power source.

If you are trying to serve him, in your own strength then admit you are wrong and repent.

I hope this series, will be a blessing to you, as we continue through the alphabet.

God bless you
