GOD WORKS IN US
If you are a Believer in Jesus, God is at work in you. The minute that we follow Jesus, God completely changes us. When we become Believers, we are forgiven, cleansed, and given new hearts. God comes into our lives and changes us. It is God’s work.
“For it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.” (Philippians 2:13)
When God goes to work in our lives, He completely changes us from the inside-out. He changes us so that we desire and want entirely different things.
We may have mixed feelings about our desires. Desires are powerful. Our desires drive our lives. We get up out of bed every day because of one thing: desire. We get married, go to work, and set goals based on our desires. Desires are, in many ways, the most important thing about us.
For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them. (Ephesians 2:10)
If we are going to change, our desires need to change. And that is exactly what Paul says that God does. God changes our very motivations. When God comes into our life, He changes our hearts so that we want different things than before. God changes our wants and desires.
God works in us so that we want differently and work for God’s good pleasure. God not only changes our desires, but He changes our actions. We not only begin to want to please God, but we begin to act in entirely different ways as well.
For this reason we also thank God without ceasing, because when you received the word of God which you heard from us, you welcomed it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which also effectively works in you who believe. (1 Thessalonians 2:13)
We change because God changes us. If we want to experience a change in our lives, then do not try to change yourself. We need God to do the job. We need God to change our hearts, our desires, and our actions. Following Jesus is about much more than forgiveness. It is about a new life. It is about a complete renovation of who we are. God will come into our lives and change the very core of our beings.
How do we change? God acts in us. Come to God today and receive this complete transformation in your life. You can rejoice that God is at work in your life. He has changed you, and He is changing you.
We want you to join us in taking 15 minutes a day to read the Bible and apply it in your life. It is time to work what God has already worked in us.
Will you take time each day to read the Bible and apply it to your life?
Heavenly Father, I come to You today and receive this complete transformation in my life. I rejoice You are at work in my life. I will read and meditate Your Word each day. You are a loving Father, that wants the very best for me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
