LIFE WITHOUT LIMITS.

Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think anything as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life (2 Corinthians 3:5-6).
The society can place limits on us; our family background can place limits on us; the nation where we live, our education, our job description, our business, our finances can place limits on us. Anything could place a limit on you. But our opening verse shows that there’s a life without limits.
Someone might think, “Does such a life really exist?” Well, if you don’t know about such a glorious life, you’ll never live it. If you’ve never had it, why would you think there’s none? After all, there was a time it seemed impossible to fly an airplane, and many thought the speed was too much, and no one would survive in it. There’re many things that people thought were impossible many years ago that have become common place today.
There’s a life without limits. And that’s the life that Jesus brought to the world. Notice again what the opening verse says: “Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think anything as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God.” The Greek word translated “sufficient” is “hikanotes.” It actually means competence. Our competence or our ability to perform, is of God. This indicates an exchange here: God has given us His ability, or His own competence, such that when we function, we don’t have to function with human ability, but with God’s ability, which is limitless.
What you have to then understand as a child of God is how to function beyond your human ability. Colossians 1:27 says “...Christ in you, the hope of glory.” Now that you’re born again, you’re not an ordinary person. 2 Corinthians 5:17 says “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” Thus, old limitations, troubles, pains etc., are passed away, and all things are now new. You’ve been ushered into a life of limitless possibilities, unending victories, and eternal glory! Blessed be God!
