God At Work

1.   God Is At Work For Us:  (Salvation)

“But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”  Romans 5:8 (NASB)

 “For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, and that He appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.”  1 Corinthians 15:3-5 (NASB) 

2.  God Is At Work In Us:  (Sanctification)

     “So then, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who is at work in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure.”  Philippians 2:12-13 (NASB)

    “But whenever someone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.  For the Lord is the Spirit, and wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. So all of us who have had that veil removed can see and reflect the glory of the Lord.  And the Lord – who is the Spirit – makes us more and more like Him as we are changed into His  glorious image.”  2 Corinthians 3:16-18 (NLT)

3.  God Is At Work Through Us (Service) “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.” Ephesians 2:10 (NASB)

 “After he had greeted them, he began to relate one by one the things which God had done among the Gentiles through his ministry.”  Acts 21:19 NASB

“For I will not presume to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me, resulting in the obedience of the Gentiles by word and deed.”  Romans 15:18 (NASB) 

God is at work FOR US, IN US and THROUGH US, even when we can’t see it or feel it!  Let us give Him glory, honor and praise!
