God Helps Those Who Help Themselves? [Rev. Shane Stanford]

Published: Sept. 27, 2021, 4 p.m.

The Bible Doesn't Say That Pt. 3
Mark 5:21-43

There will always be a limit to what you can know and do based on your own abilities. What we want from this phrase is to make people responsible for their own actions. The problem with that is there’s always a limit. 

The thing that we cannot do for ourselves is to save ourselves. We cannot fulfill the requirements that sin and brokenness have brought into our lives. God doesn’t care what we can do for ourselves, and ultimately, He had to do it for us through Jesus Christ.
