Without God you can do nothing

The downside of affluence is that we lose sight of how much we need God. Clothes, food, safety, security, friendship, and fun are all readily available and affordable. Assuming that we have it provided it all for ourselves, we are diluted into a sense of self-sufficiency, and that changes our relationship with God from reliance to convenience. When we cease to rely on God, to perceive how much we need God, He soon fades out of sight, then out of mind. He becomes a little more than the 911 number of life.

Ephesians 4:1-3 says, walk worthy of the calling with which you were called, with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

John 15:5 says, I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.
