As those who desire to follow Christ, we must constantly wrestle against our tendency to try to save ourselves. Our natural inclination is to try to overcome sin in our own strength. But note that the things we might try to do to save ourselves are the very things from which we need to be saved! Seeking to overcome our sin through good works, trying harder, or in any way through our own strength is what Christ came to save us from.
Praise be to God that we are, through the gospel, being delivered from slavery to our sinful and ineffectual attempts to save ourselves!
