Our lack of understanding in utilizing the gospel as a source of healing leads us to instead view it as a mere educational tool. We often reference the analogy of God as the potter and us as the clay being shaped, but this interpretation is flawed. In reality, it suggests that God determines who will be saved and who will be condemned to eternal punishment as broken vessels.

We are inherently flawed vessels, but by abandoning simplistic beliefs, we can discover that the ultimate solution has always been within our reach. The key lies in embracing the teachings of the gospel, where the hard work has already been done and we are already seen as valuable in the eyes of God. Through the gospel, we can elevate our understanding of true worth beyond the material possessions of this world. Ultimately, the gospel is a testament to the divine work of God.

The gospel is an intentional manifestation of divine intervention that elicits within us a profound transformation that surpasses our comprehension. It is delivered to us by a benevolent Father who emphasizes our inherent unworthiness to fully grasp its significance and our inherent inability to independently yield the profound impact it has on our lives. The captivating allure of the gospel lies in its accessibility to those who lack the capability to generate its transformative effects. Consequently, our Father regards us with compassion, recognizing our insignificance.

It might be assumed that God would primarily demonstrate His power through our own abilities, as we tend to believe that our acceptance by God is contingent upon our participation in His work. However, it is in fact God's intention to solely receive all glory for Himself. Consequently, due to our innate inclination towards independence from Him, He must dismantle our desire for self-sufficiency and grant us a will that is entirely reliant on Him. It is this very notion of dependence that some individuals find unsettling when the focus is on the gospel, devoid of any practicality. The confession of dependence may appear feeble and self-centered, rendering us vulnerable to the influence of individuals who possess a strong will and adhere to religious practices.
