The All-Sufficiency of Christ

As much as we would like to think we are, we are not self-sufficient. We rely on God for everything, even if we do not acknowledge Him. He is the One we look to to meet our daily needs for food, shelter, companionship and every other sustenance.

2 Cor. 2:16 asks a piercing question "And who is adequate for these things?", in the context of overcoming Satan's schemes to fracture Christian fellowship and witness. The answer lies in 2 Cor. 3:5, where God is pinpointed as the source of adequacy or sufficiency.

In Christ alone our hope is found. We stand only by His grace and in His strength. If you don't believe me, try doing something as simple as breathing without Him.
