Why is leaning on Christ important for Christians?
Answered in 3 sources
Leaning on Christ is essential because it signifies reliance on His strength and grace rather than our own efforts.
Leaning on Christ highlights the necessity of depending on His power and grace in every aspect of life. As noted in the sermon, 'Lean on the everlasting arms' signifies that true strength comes not from personal resolve but from Christ who lives in us. In Hebrews 13:20-21, we read that God equips us to do His will, 'make you perfect in every good work to do his will.' This means that as Christians, our good works stem not from our own abilities but from Christ's influence and operation within us. This dependence on Him not only brings comfort but also fulfills the calling in our daily walk of faith.
