I Cannot Save Myself

ON THREE QUESTIONS ANYONE WANTS AN ANSWER, SOMETIME IN HIS OR HER LIFE

• WHY I'M HERE, WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF MY EXISTENCE
• WHERE DO I COME FROM, WHO OR WHAT GAVE ME LIFE
• WHERE I'M GOING, WHAT WILL BE THE END OF MY EXISTENCE
  

FEELINGS AND THOUGHTS DIRECT US TO OUR DESTINY
Dear Friend, maybe the foregoing passage about faith and the Word of God is new to you, let me explain a couple of things before we go on:Feelings and thoughts are the things that direct us to our destiny.As you know there is Good and Evil in this World and we are part of it, all the good and the evil exists through people like you and me.It is up to us, what is going to happen, we are responsible.But both are present in us, and both desire to have the best of us.I mean this; I like to be loved by others, I like to do good to others, I want other people to talk well of me, I like to make them smile and to love them.On the other hand I don't take the blame, I defend myself, I protect myself, I sacrifice others that I may gain and get back to those that hurt me,or talk bad of me, take from me, I seek revenge for al the wrong men shall do to me, in order to stay on top and to make it in this World .All people try to survive, protect themselves, this causes the struggles we are in.

THE QUESTION IS CAN I WIN !
The question is can I win?, and if I win what have I gained.The Apostle Paul wrote this predicament about himself and I may say, that this situation is relevant for all of us.Rom 7:18 For I know that nothing good dwells within me, that is, in my flesh. I can will what is right, but I cannot perform it. [I have the intention and urge to do what is right, but no power to carry it out.]Rom 7:19 For I fail to practice the good deeds I desire to do, but the evil deeds that I do not desire to do are what I am [ever] doing.Rom 7:21 So I find it to be a law (rule of action of my being) that when I want to do what is right {and} good, evil is ever present with me {and} I am subject to its insistent demands.Paul says here that he is not in control to do good, but that evil puts its demands on him.Though he wants to good, it is the evil he eventually has to do to.Other powers are at work in us.We think that our struggle is against people, but the Bible shows clearly that, it is not true.Eph 6:12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual {forces} of wickedness in the heavenly {places.}So what is the solution, Paul again writes this;Rom 7:24 Wretched man that I am! Who will set me free from the body of this death?Rom 7:25 Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, on the one hand I myself with my mind amserving the law of God, but on the other, with my flesh the law of sin.Through Jesus I am able to do good, to serve the Lord, why?, because evil will lead me to eternal death, I may gain the whole world, but I will lose my soul.In Jesus I will find eternal life and the power over evil. Rom 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death.



I CANNOT SAVE MYSELF
This is the reason that I cannot do it on my own, God cannot save me because the good in me is insufficient. Romans 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,Evil is called sin in the Bible and robs us from all the good we try to do, WE DO ALL HAVE SIN IN OUR LIFE AND THE WAGES ARE DEATH;Rom 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.This is the reason for my story to you.We all need someone stronger than darkness, and that person is Jesus, He is the one that defeated evil, never sinned and took all the blame and punishment that was due to us, so we might get free and live a good life with good deeds and receive eternal life.
