Day 5. Can you save yourself from the way of sin and death? (2026)

Today is day 5 and we are continuing the section on Salvation with question 5.

4. Can you save yourself from the way of sin and death?

No. I have no power to save myself, for sin has corrupted my conscience, confused my mind, and captured my will. Only God can save me. (Psalm 33:13–19; Isaiah 43:8–13; John 3:1–8; Ephesians 2:1–9)

Our daily collect comes from the Seventh Sunday of Epiphany found on page 603 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).
