No Power Within Himself

It is impossible for man to do better than he is. What is not in him will not come out of him. A bramble-bush will not bear grapes. Man has no power within himself to raise himself above himself. The result of every effort of this kind is summed up in the words of one of the strictest of men, outwardly: "For to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not." Rom. 7:18. Paul found no uplifting power within himself.
