Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of the faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
-- Hebrews 12:1, 2

The Source of Our Sufficiency
​

Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think of anything as being from ourselves, but our sufficiency is from God... [We] have no confidence in the flesh... I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. (2 Corinthians 3:5-6; Philippians 3:3; 4:13)



We have been considering how God's grace develops traits of godliness in our lives. Such studies are related to finding the source of our sufficiency. Where are believers in Jesus Christ supposed to find adequate resources for living godly lives? The scriptures answer this question in a two-fold manner. First, God wants us to realize that we are not the source of anything that is needed. Second, God wants us to understand that He is the source of everything that is needed....

The Exceedingly Abundant Ability of God
​

Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen. (Ephesians 3:20-21)


In light of God being our sufficiency for the development of godly characteristics, this benedictory prayer in Ephesians 3 becomes an appropriate and instructive response...

 

[IisJustMe]

Again, the devil took Him to a very high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory; and he said to
Him, "All these things I will give You, if You fall down and worship me.' Then Jesus said to him, "Go, Satan! For it is written, 'YOU
SHALL WORSHIP THE LORD YOUR GOD, AND SERVE HIM ONLY.' "
-- Matthew 4:8-10

​

Psa 100:1 Make a joyful shout to the LORD, all you lands!
Psa 100:2 Serve the LORD with gladness;
Come before His presence with singing.
Psa 100:3 Know that the LORD, He is God;
It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves;
We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.
Psa 100:4 Enter into His gates with thanksgiving,
And into His courts with praise.
Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.
Psa 100:5 For the LORD is good;
His mercy is everlasting,
And His truth endures to all generations.​

Old Covenant or New, Man's Sufficiency or God's
​

(God) also made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit…But their minds were hardened. For until this day the same veil remains unlifted in the reading of the Old Testament [old covenant], because the veil is taken away in Christ. (2 Corinthians 3:6, 14)
We have seen that godly characteristics develop in our lives through the working of God's grace within us. We now begin a closely related subject: a contrast between living by the old covenant or the new (by law or by grace). The ongoing choices we make here determine whether we will be living by man's sufficiency or by God's. Various contrasting terms that describe these significant choices are set forth in the third chapter of 2 Corinthians. Verses 6 and 14 set the basic context—differences between the new covenant and the old—"[God] also made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant…For until this day the same veil remains unlifted in the reading of the Old Testament [old covenant]."

 

[IisJustMe]

"Give, and it will be given to you. They will pour into your lap a
good measure --pressed down, shaken together, and running over.
For by your standard of measure it will be measured to you in return."
-- Luke 6:38

Psalm 107:2-3

Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he has redeemed from the hand of
the enemy; And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west,
from the north, and from the south.
