Philippians 2:13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.

God works in the life of every Christian. He helps us to become a better person, the person He wants us to be. As we follow Him, He molds us into usable vessels. He helps us to be more kind and considerate. As we yield to Him, we become less self-centered and more concerned about the needs of others. This may not happen overnight, but we will never be the same once we give our lives to Christ.

How does it happen?

First of all, God is now our Father. We have gone from being a child of Satan to a child of God – we are members of a new family.

Also, God the Holy Spirit comes to live within us. As we yield to Him, He will guide and teach us how to bring honor and glory to the Father. God speaks to us and molds us into usable vessels as we read the Bible and listen to the preaching of His Word.

When we come to Christ our old sinful nature is still alive, trying to pull us away from Christ. Jesus did not save us just to take us to Heaven. He also wants to change us into a vessel fit for the Master’s use. The early disciples went through such a change, that when they accepted Christ as Saviour, God was able to use them to win multitudes to the truth of the Gospel.

Reflection—Can those around us see the love of God in how we live, speak, and treat others?
