TITLE : GRACIOUS GOD
TEXT: For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. (Philippians 2:13)
When you hear the expression, “work of God”, what
comes to your mind? Preaching, singing in the choir, giving to the cause
of the gospel, visiting the sick and helping the poor youths? You are
right. These are works of God, but it is more than that. In 1737
Jonathan Edwards wrote an essay titled, “A Faithful Narrative of the
Surprising Work of God in the Conversion of Many Hundred Souls in
Northampton”. In this essay, he describes the circumstances surrounding
the conversion of members of his congregation as the work of God’s
grace.
Do you know that salvation is the work of God? All the Christian
experiences—Salvation, Holiness, Holy Ghost impartation — are works of
God. God is at work in your heart if you allow Him to change you, and
transform you into the image of Christ. As you desire to grow in grace,
God will help you to remain steadfast till the end. Yield your will to
Him. Let God have his way in you.
