So we keep on praying for you, asking our God to enable you to live a life worthy of his call. May he give you the power to accomplish all the good things your faith prompts you to do. (2 Thessalonians 1:11 NLT)
Twice Paul indicates that believers need God's divine enablement to live out their Christian lives. Christianity isn’t about a greater determination to do what is right, but rather it's about trusting God to live His life through us. Our greatest need is to live surrendered lives monopolized/controlled by the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit. We have to yield ourselves to Him moment by moment and day by day!
