What does the Bible say about being powerless?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that we are powerless in our spiritual condition and entirely dependent on God for salvation and grace.

Scripture reveals that humans are born in sin and cannot save themselves. John 9 describes how Jesus explained to His disciples that the blind man's condition was so God's works could be manifest in him. This reflects the sovereign grace of God, who opens our eyes to the truth because we are powerless to do so on our own. Being brought to a state of recognizing our powerlessness is liberating, as it highlights our total dependence on God's grace for spiritual insight and salvation.
