It's impossible for us to become holy and perfect without help from the Lord God of Christ. Most of us gladly offer the best advice we know of to help others to overcome their problems. But if God were not involved, no fundamental changes would take place. When the advice helped, the change never lasted long—I've seen this again and again. (An example case might be asking someone to control their temper.) Until the person you try to help can change themselves internally, the problem remains. Now, the the Lord Christ our creator is the only one who is able to change any of us open to him fundamentally. So, to help others, we need to pray to him first and bring him into the picture. Basically, converting others becomes our primary aim.
