What do you depend on? God’s grace, or human wisdom?

The world is quite different from the church. I have been struggling with one question . Could we or should live with the same set of principle in the world and in the church? Or we should live in the church as a Christian, but live in the word as a worldly person?
Then I realize that I have been asking the wrong question! The question is not what principle and standard you should live to, the question is what you really depend on, God's grace or your own human wisdom.
Paul depended on God's grace , not on his human wisdom. So he said with confidence and clear conscience that he had been lived with a God-given holiness and sincerity in all their dealing, both before the world and the church!
So we do you depend on? God’s grace, or your own human wisdom? May God show more and more his grace in our lives, and make us depend more and more on his grace, and less and less on our human wisdom. Till one day , we could say with confidence like Paul that we also live with a God-given holiness and sincerity , before both the world and the church!
God bless!
Bible verse,
We can say with confidence and a clear conscience that we have lived with a God-given holiness and sincerity in all our dealings. We have depended on God’s grace, not on our own human wisdom. That is how we have conducted ourselves before the world, and especially toward you. 2 Corinthians 1:12 NLT
