8. God Gives Us The Desire And Ability To Do His Will - Zac Poonen
Part of Zac Poonen · 278 of 379
Summary
The central message is that true spiritual understanding and entering the New Covenant require humility, acknowledging that one knows nothing, much like a child. Jesus taught that one must learn from Him—specifically His humility and gentleness—rather than relying on personal cleverness or intelligence. This rest from self-effort means responding immediately to the promptings of the Holy Spirit, rather than relying on one's own works or bright ideas.
