Commentary on John 15:5

Theological / Devotional

Without me. “The carnal mind … is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be” (Rom. 8:7). It is impossible for man in his own strength to escape from the pit of sin into which he has fallen and to bring forth fruits unto holiness. Wherever men hold to the principle that they can save themselves by their own works they have no barrier against sin.
