The Danger of Self-Reliance

 (ID: 2909)

After celebrating the Passover with His disciples, Jesus warned them that they would all fall away. In doing so, He identified a danger that we face too. When we rely on ourselves and trust our own hearts, we are in a precarious position. Alistair Begg reminds us that even though we may stumble into sin for a season, failure with God is never final. He keeps and sustains those who are His.
