Are you struggling to live the Holy Life?
Then that is why. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^.
Notice.."live the holy life"....."struggling".
The reason you can't, and you want to, is because you are trying to do it by your will.. You are trying to do it by your self effort.
Saint, that is the same as a unbeliever would try to do it.
Exactly the same.
= FAIL 100%
Paul teaches that "when we are weak, then Christ is STRONG, in us,...= as our power to live holy.
See that?
So the opposite of that is why you can't.....its like this.>"when I AM STRONG< then Christ in me is weak, and that is why i cant live the life of Christ.
See it?
Look again.
Paul teaches..."i can do all things THROUGH CHRIST, = who strengthens me".
"strengthens me" to do what?
= Live a perfected discipleship, that is free from sinning and confessing and guilt, and exists here instead....>"Christ always Gives me the Victory"...which means you wlll be like this.......Paul teaches....>"as many as BE Perfect".
So, you fail to live the Holy Lifestyle when you struggle to live like Christ by your own power..
That is why you fail.
And Paul teaches that you learn to live like Christ, when you only do this :
= ""I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me:""
See that?
That is Christ on the Cross and you in the Grace of God.
If instead, you are on the Cross, trying to stay saved, trying to live the life of Christ in your own power...trying to go to heaven by keeping commandments... then you have become this..
= "apart from me, you can do NOTHING"...Jesus says to you.
And to do "nothing" is to not to be able to live the Holy Life.
To do "nothing" is to be sinning and confessing, all the time, or 12 times a month.
To do "nothing" is to try to be good, but you have to fight inside yourself to even not think dirty thoughts.
Listen Saint...
God's SPIRIT in you, is your SOUL power to live the holy life.
He lives it through you, or you can't live it at all.
Look at this verse and start to meditate on its power.. and truth.
"not by might ,nor by power....., but by my SPIRIT, sayeth the Lord"
Its not your might, its not your power that can live Holy.
You can't.
If you keep trying it that way, you are this...: "apart from me you can do nothing."......years and years., and it will never change.
