“For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus.” Philippians 1:6
Philippians is another Book that you can sit and meditate on all day. So many verses I could comment on, but this one stands out today. As brilliant and used by God as Paul was, his confidence was not in himself. It was in God. Just as he saw God’s sovereign hand open the door for the Gospel in Philippi (Acts 16:9-40), he saw God continuing that work in them until Glory.
The same holds true for us. If God took Cold, Dead, and Rebellious Hearts, that hated Him and His Law, and turned them into Warm, Live, and Obedient Ones, that Love Him and His Law, He will continue that same Work until we appear before Him in Glory!
