Man was created to be Dependent On God!

Man is Created to be Dependent on God, and Not on himself!

John 3:30

[30]He must increase, but I must decrease.

John 8:26-29

[26]I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of him.

[27]They understood not that he spake to them of the Father.

[28]Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.

[29]And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.

John 5:30-32

[30]I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.

[31]If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.

[32]There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.

John 6:37-38

[37]All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.

[38]For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.

John 7:16-18

[16]Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.

[17]If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.

[18]He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.

John 12:48-50

[48]He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.

[49]For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.

[50]And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.

John 14:10-11

[10]Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.

[11]Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works’ sake.

1 Corinthians 4:4

[4]For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord.

Acts 20:22-24

[22]And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there:

[23]Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me.

[24]But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.

John 15:1-8

[1]I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.

[2]Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.

[3]Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.

[4]Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.

[5]I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

[6]If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.

[7]If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.

[8]Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.

Joel 3:9-10

[9]Proclaim ye this among the Gentiles; Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let them come up:

[10]Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruninghooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong.

2 Corinthians 12:8-10

[8]For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.

[9]And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

[10]Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.

Hebrews 11:33-34

[33]Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,

[34]Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.

Luke 17:33

[33]Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.

Matthew 18:1-6

[1]At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?

[2]And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,

[3]And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

[4]Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

[5]And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.

[6]But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

James 4:4-10

[4]Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.

[5]Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?

[6]But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.

[7]Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

[8]Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.

[9]Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.

[10]Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.

Galatians 5:16-17,24-25

[16]This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

[17]For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.

[24]And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.

[25]If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

Galatians 2:20

[20]I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
