I never said it was the power of man to save himself. Are you saying that the gospel doesn't require obedience?

Did you read my post? The Gospel of Jesus Christ requires absolutely nothing of us. The Gospel is everything to do with what God has done for us and for our salvation and nothing to do with us and our obedience. What we do is Law and is not salvific.

The word of the gospel, presented in scripture, has the inherent power to write God's law into the heart of man, that is, so to change man inwardly that he gladly subjects himself to God's law and willingly and with delight walks in the ways of God according to the new man which is created in him through faith in the gospel. - Franz Pieper
