In order for the realities of God's Word to be worked out in each of our lives, we must have sure footing. The very fullness of the freedom that is available to us as taught in Romans 6, 7 and 8 is something we must grasp in order to be built up as we stand on the Rock of our salvation.
There can be no meaningful results from the many valuable exhortations that we hear from Spirit-led teachers and ministers in the church, no revival or a difference in our own individual lives, no reality of the life of Christ lived out in us unless we stop trying to produce good activity from our own evil flesh; that flesh that has been dealt with at the cross.
How we need to believe and learn to take a stand on what our loving and faithful God has done and will do for us in freeing us from ourselves and the sin which so easily entangles us.
This essential truth lies in simplicity; that only He is enough. This is the source of our steady footing as we stand on the Rock and allow Him to complete the work in us that He started.
