Christians are God’s “works in progress.” Theologians call it “progressive sanctification”…moment by moment, day by day, becoming more like Jesus, God’s Son…that work of God, in us, that will continue until the day He calls us home to heaven. Let us actively submit ourselves to God as He does His masterful work on us as only He can do.
Romans 8:29
29 For those God foreknew He also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brothers.
Philippians 2:12-13 (NLT)
12 Work hard to show the results of your salvation, obeying God with deep reverence and fear. 13 For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him.
“If traces of Christ’s love-artistry be upon me, may He work on me with His divine brush until the complete image be obtained and I be made a perfect copy of Him, my Master.” ~ An Unknown Puritan
The Lord bless you and keep you…
