God Working in You

If you are a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ, are you aware that God is working in you? The Bible teaches that God is working in every believer. And when God begins a good work in you, He brings it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ. 

God works in you through the Holy Spirit. It was the Holy Spirit who convinced you of the need to receive Christ as Savior and Lord. The Holy Spirit sealed you when you trusted in Christ. The Holy Spirit works the gifts of faith, hope and love, within you. The Holy Spirit produces fruit in your life such as love, joy and peace. In essence, the Holy Spirit makes Jesus Christ real to you.

Yield to the Holy Spirit that God may work in greater ways in your life. You may ask, how do I yield to the Holy Spirit? There are practical ways, such as Bible reading, prayer, worship, and obedience to God. Ask God to work in you all that is pleasing to Him.

"Being confident of this very thing,
that He which hath begun a good work in you
will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ."
Philippians 1:6

"For it is God who works in you 
both to will and to do of His good pleasure." 
Philippians 2:13
