In studying the story of Naaman in the Bible it is interesting to me to see that when he came unto the prophet to seek for cleansing that the action had to be taken on his part. In the story, Naaman became very wroth because he thought that the man of God would come out and perform the action for him.
I believe that we attain salvation by grace through faith with no Works involved. However, if we are to get our live the victorious Christian life for God it is going to take an effort on our part. Often we want to go to the man of God with our spiritual problems and have him do all the work for us. Mistakenly we are disappointed with him when he cannot. Our lives are not hindered by the lack of power in our Preacher, but rather by the lack of effort in ourselves.
