A Precious Promise of Gods Completing Work Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ. (Philippians 1:6) Here we have a precious promise concerning Gods commitment to complete the wonderful work of salvation that He began at our new birth. If our faith is in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, God has started a tremendous saving work on our behalf: He who has begun a good work in you. He has made us new creatures in His Son. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new (2 Corinthians 5:17). He has supplied us with immeasurable heavenly resources. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ (Ephesians 1:3). What a grand work has been started in us. Yet, Gods saving work is so great a salvation (Hebrews 2:3). Thus, whatever He has already been accomplished with us is only a part of the whole. Wherever we are in this glorious process, there is some completing work that God desires to do. He wants to bring into our understanding, our character, and our daily experience more of that which is fully ours in Christ. Furthermore, our God wants us to be confident concerning this matter: Being confident of this very thing. God does not want people living in self-confidence. That misplaced trust is just another form of pride. This does not mean that we Christians are to be without confidence in our lives. It does mean that all of our confidence is to be placed in the Lord, And we have such trust [confidence] through Christ toward God (2 Corinthians 3:4). Holy Father and God, thank you for all YOUR Goodness and Mercy and Compassion, but mostly thank YOU for Your Unfailing Love towards us Holy FATHER !!! Holy Father I pray for Your free precious Gift...Your Holy SPIRIT..! Holy Father may Your Holy Spirit cause us all to completely surrender to Him, so that HE may work in us...change & transform us from the inside out, so that HE may teach us and guide us all according Your Good & Pleasant & Perfect Will, all for Your Glory Holy FATHER, AMEN & HALLELUJAH !!!
