Good intentions and earnest effort are not enough. Only Jesus can make an otherwise futile life productive.

Good intentions and earnest effort are not enough. Only Jesu

Summary

This quote suggests that while having good intentions and putting in sincere efforts are valuable, they may not be sufficient on their own to make one's life truly meaningful or fruitful. It implies that salvation or guidance from a higher power, specifically Jesus, is necessary to transform an otherwise futile existence into one that is purposeful and productive. It emphasizes the belief in the power of divine intervention or spiritual guidance as an essential element for achieving a fulfilling and successful life.
