November 14 Confident & Complete Philippians 1:6
Good morning from Pastor Glen Brock, Baptist Tabernacle Church, Wendell, North Carolina… “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)
This beautiful verse outlines the entire story of our salvation and provides confidence that HE will complete the job that HE started! When we recognize our sinfulness, and we, by Faith, come to HIM, in repentance and humility, and we ask HIM to forgive us, and to save us, and HIS Grace, immediately provides “Justification,” and our SALVATION process begins! When we confess, repent, and ask HIM to Save us, our conversion is instantaneous! Our journey begins right here! The scriptures inform us that we are new creations, the old is past and the new is before us! Praise God, our journey doesn’t end at the beginning! We are to continue to grow and seek Him, and we are to embrace the “Newness” of His Living! Amazingly, even when we stumble and even when we are “hard-headed” and “stubborn,” HE promised that HE would complete the work in us! Completeness is when we enter Heaven, and we are eternally with HIM! When I think about this amazing fact, I am better prepared to endure the challenges of the day! His “Glorification” for me, that is, when I am taken up to Heaven, and I have a new body, and I am no longer affected by the earthly challenges and I am blessed to enjoy the “unspeakable” joy of His Presence, and I get to enjoy it forever! I Thank God for His Love, and I Praise His Name for the Promise that HE WILL COMPLETE HIS WORK IN ME! This one Fact should be enough for you to Praise HIM, and FOLLOW HIM, and EMBRACE HIS SALVATION! Stay Strong, Stay Focused…THE BEST IS YET TO BE!
