Not that we are adequate in ourselves to consider anything as coming from ourselves but our adequacy is from God. 2 Cor. 3:5

As believers we have sufficient resources for a fruitful life.

Sufficient Resources to bear fruit:

When the headwaiter tasted the water which had become wine, and did not know where it came from… John 2:9

Sufficient power is fueled by submission to God. Jesus submitted to the Father:

Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does that have to do with us? My hour has not come.” John 2:4

Marry submitted to her son:

His mother said to the servants, “Whatever He says to you, do it.”

The disciples submitted to their LORD:

This beginning of His signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and manifested His glory, and His disciples believed in Him.” John 2:11

Abide in me and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me. 5 I am the vine and you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him; he bears much fruit; for apart from Me you can do nothing. John 15:4-5

Spiritual resources bring zeal for the spiritual over the material.

The sanctity of God’s temple - the physical temple of His church. (13-22)

The sanctity of God’s Temple - the Physical Temple of our bodies.

Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own? For you have been bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body. 1 Cor. 6:19-20

But like the Holy One who called you, be holy yourselves also in all your behavior because it is written, You shall be holy for I am holy. 1 Peter 1:15-16

Spiritual resources bring zeal for grace over law.

…knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but thought faith in Christ Jesus… so that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law, since by the works of the law no flesh will be justified. Galatians 2:16

…by the works of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight for through the law comes the knowledge of sin. Romans 3:20

Spiritual resources shows a man’s destiny in the hands of the Sovereign Lord.

And because He did not need anyone to testify concerning man. For He Himself knew what was in man. John 2:25
