A Good Work




Philippians 1:6 (ESV)

And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.


Philippians 2:13 (ESV)

for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure.


Ephesians 2:10 (ESV)

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.


Jesus has begun a good work in us by justifying us into His salvation. We are then reborn for the good works of our sanctification. He has given us the Holy Spirit that we might “will and work for His good pleasure.” Our works include transforming our minds into thinking as children of God who are growing into the mind of Christ. We work to overcome the flesh through obedience to His word through word and deed. We present our minds and bodies and souls to our Lord Jesus Christ. He has begun a good work in us and He will accomplish it.
