Famous Last Words [Jesus Can Still Save You] Devotions Day 5

Empowered by the Spirit

Devotional
Following Jesus isn't about trying harder in our own strength - it's about relying on the Holy Spirit's power. We can't transform ourselves or clean up our own lives. Instead, God's Spirit works within us, enabling us to follow Jesus and live in obedience to Him. This truth brings both comfort and challenge: we're not alone in our journey of faith, but we must remain open and responsive to the Spirit's leading in our lives.

Bible Verse
"“If you love me, obey my commandments. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, who will never leave you. He is the Holy Spirit, who leads into all truth..." - John 14:15-17
