Answered in 1 source
Acknowledging our weakness leads to reliance on God's strength, as taught in 1 Corinthians 1:27.
Recognizing our limitations is crucial for spiritual growth and effective service in the Christian life. Scripture teaches that God chooses the weak to shame the strong, as noted in 1 Corinthians 1:27. Newton asserts that this acknowledgment not only fosters humility but also draws believers nearer to God, who willingly provides strength where we are deficient. It reminds us that our abilities are not independent achievements but gifts of grace, prompting a life of prayer and dependence on God's continual presence. Such reliance encourages continual growth in faith and gratitude as believers witness God's faithfulness in their weakness.
