In His most famous sermon (Matthew 5–7), Jesus taught us to love our enemies, give to the needy, and put God’s kingdom first in our life. These high expectations don’t take us long to recognize a problem. We simply can’t do this on our own. So, why did Jesus command us to live a life He knows full well we cannot live on our own? The key is that Jesus never asked us to live the Christian life on our own. In fact, Jesus explained there is a gift that is indispensable for every Christian: the Holy Spirit. Jesus as God in the flesh is a wonderful gift, and God living inside us is amazing too! God living within us can empower us, help us grow, and equip us in a unique way that God among us could not.
