WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING WITHOUT YOU

John 15:4-5 abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abide in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. I am the vine you are the branches.  Whoever abide in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing good

Our righteous efforts are useless without Christ, when we rely on self-righteousness we set ourselves up for failure.  Righteousness comes from our faith in Jesus, because we cannot forgive our sins; so we cannot Escape The Bondage of sin without Christ. We can do nothing good without Jesus, and to know Jesus we must build a relationship  through daily communication.  Who We Are is about who lives in us, and we recognize that from the fruit we bear.

Father, we understand that without You, we cannot bear fruit and walk in righteousness.  So search our hearts and remove our human pride and worldly desires that lead us astray and fill us with the things of the Spirit.  Lord, let us not rely on our ability, but stay focused on You; through the studying of the Word, prayer, fellowship, worship, and praise.  Father, forgive us for our doubts and fears, strengthen our faith and help us with our unbelief; give us Christ-like strength and courage to stand on Your Word and Trust in Your promises.  Father, we can do nothing without You so please baptize us in the Holy Spirit teach us how to walk in righteousness in Jesus name Amen
