I agree with the sentiment and vision you express completely. But the issue goes still deeper if we are to be honest. We can't overcome sin (selfishness) by our own effort because our enemy is ourself. Bible says even our best deeds are like filthy rags. God sent His only begotten Son to live the sinless life we haven't lived, and to die on a cross for our sins and rise from the dead to justify us in the sight of God. When any man believes in the Lord Jesus Christ, that man is justified in the sight of God and made a new creature with the Spirit of God dwelling in him to give him both the WILL and the POWER to do what is right and to love selflessly and He (the Spirit of Christ) leads believers into all TRUTH. God bless you. |
