What does the Bible say about trusting God over ourselves?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that we must trust in God who raises the dead, not in our own abilities.

In 2 Corinthians 1:9, Paul expresses that he and his companions were pressed beyond their strength, leading them to despair of life itself. This despair was purposeful, leading them to place their trust not in themselves but in God, who has the power to raise the dead. This teaches us that self-trust is a pitfall that ultimately results in spiritual death. The only path to true faith is realizing our spiritual inability and relying solely on God's capability to save and sustain us.
