The Bible teaches that we should lean on Jesus for our entire salvation, as He is the source of wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption.
Leaning on Jesus signifies a dependence on Him for every aspect of our salvation. In Romans 1:30-32, we see that without Christ, we are left to our own weaknesses and cannot achieve righteousness. Jesus is described as being 'made of God unto you wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption,' meaning that through Him, we can find all that we lack. The act of leaning on Him is a daily surrender to His sufficiency and grace, reminding us that we cannot secure any spiritual blessing apart from Him.
