Depending on Christ

Colossians 1:29

For this I toil, struggling with all his energy that he powerfully works within me.

Grace is foundational

“But if we are going to experience any success at all in putting on the shelf of our lives the various “books” of Christian growth, we must first set in place these two bookends. We must learn to depend on both the righteousness of Christ and the power of Christ. This is what it means to live by grace. And this is why grace is foundational to spiritual growth.” - Jerry Bridges
