In these verses, Paul opens a window into the heart of living and serving as a Christian. He shows that following Jesus will stretch us, shape us, and sometimes lead us into hard places, but never without His strength. Here, Paul reminds us that the endurance we need, the courage we lack, and the maturity we long for all flow from one source: Christ in us. His presence is the power behind every step of faithful obedience.
