Apart From Me You Can Do Nothing

Today we will share God's grace by studying "Apart from me, you can do nothing". We are most likely to leave God when we don't delight in the life of faith. We can do nothing apart from God just as a fish can not survive once it leaves water.

Let's find out through the Bible what will happen to those leaving God.
Jn 15:5 Apart from me you can do nothing.
2 Pe 2:20-22 A dog returns to its vomit … A sow that is washed goes back to her wallowing in the mud.
Once we believe in God, He washes away our sins. We will defile ourselves with this sinful world when we leave God and go back to where we were. We are nothing apart from God.
Now let's study about what kind of faith we must have in God.
Mt 10:21 But he who stands firm to the end will be saved.
Rev 14:12 This calls for patient endurance on the part of the saints who obey God's commandments and remain faithful to Jesus.
Whatever happens and whatever challenges our faith, we must have patient endurance and stand firm to the end for our salvation.
What types of people lost their faith and left God in the time of Early Church?
Mt 13:3 Listen then to what the parable of the sower means.
The first type is like the seed fallen along the path. He hears God's message about the kingdom and does not understand it.
The second one is like the seed fallen on rocky places. He hears the word and at once receives with joy. Since he has no root, he lasts only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, he quickly falls away from God.
The third one is like the seed fallen among the thorns. He hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke it, making it unfruitful. These are the three types that leave God.
Some people left God in the time of Early Church. Why did they leave God and go back to the sinful world? Let's find out.
Gal 1:6 I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel.
2 Pe 2:1-3 They will secretly introduce destructive heresies … these teachers will exploit you with stories they have made up.
2 Ti 4:9 For Demas, because he loved this world, has deserted me.
In the time of Early Church, people left God to follow a different gospel, destructive heresies, and their love of this sinful world. We must be careful not to fall into this temptation and stand firm to the end.

We can do nothing when we leave God. We have to remain in God until the last day.
Do you understand how to remain in God always? Through the Passover you can participate in His blood (Jn 6:56) and become one with God. He will be in you and you will be in Him forever. Come to the Church of God and receive God's glory of the Passover. God bless you.
