Apart from Christ we can do nothingJesus teaches that we must abide in the vine because we can accomplish nothing of eternal value without Him.John 15:5
Exposing hidden self-confidenceCircumstances often reveal our true condition, showing where we have relied on our own self-confidence and Christian theories rather than His strength.

Being made perfect by the Spirit, not the fleshPaul rebukes the Galatians for turning away from the Spirit to try and be perfected by their own strength and self-will.
