This is the only thing I want to find out from you: did you receive the Spirit by works of the Law, or by hearing with faith? Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh? (Galatians 2:2-3)
Some people try to live as though the Bible says, “God helps those who help themselves.” This is exactly what Paul refutes.
In essence, Paul asks, “Does it make sense that after the Holy Spirit reconciled you to the Father through your faith in Jesus that then God would say, ‘You’re now on your own—figure it out yourself’?”
Of course not!
When the Bible says that God opposes the proud, that means that He stands back from those who say, “I can do it by myself.” But the Scripture goes on to assure us that God gives more grace to the humble. That means that God is an ever-present help to those who say, “I cannot do this by myself.”
