Rowboat or Speedboat
IllustrationAnalogy★★★★WHAT’S the difference between a rowboat and a speedboat?
A rowboat requires human effort; a speedboat moves based on
another power source. A rowboat represents my determination
to get there. A speedboat represents the Christian who relies
on the power of the Holy Spirit to propel him forward into his
Christian life and get him where he needs to go.
The point
A rowboat requires human effort; a speedboat runs on another power source—so Christians relying on the Holy Spirit's power move faster than those relying on self.
