For It is God Which Works in You…
Pastor Zubeda Sing
“Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.”
It is possible to possess the Nature of God in your Spirit without becoming a Partaker of His Divine Nature in your experience. The Apostle Paul stated that believers must after receiving salvation, enjoy the benefits and privileges already provided for them. They come to understand and see this by Revelation. As you meditate on God’s Word, you see precious Promises in His Word. By faith, you claim these precious Promises and see the results. So then, you see that your newly created spirits have received the impartation of His Divine Nature. Paul prayed for the Galatian believers, that Christ would be formed in them. *“My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you,” Galatians 4:19.*
Then when communicating to the Philippian Church, he told them that, God was working in them. *“For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure” Philippians 2:13. God continues to work in the lives of His New Creation, until they are conformed to the Image of His Son. So continually put your salvation into effect in this earth. Remember, as you go into your day, God Himself is working within you, performing His Will and acting out His good purpose. Remember within you, that the Lord is with you, helping you by His Spirit to live this Christian Life successfully. No matter what you go through, know that God is effectually at work in you
