The Epistle to the Philippians Chapter 1:6-12
(2 of 16)

6 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:
Being PERSUADED of this very thing. Stop here for a
moment. This statement is in a verb form that
describes an action, which is viewed as having been
completed in the past, once and for all, not needing
to be repeated. Whatever Paul was persuaded of
concerning this church, HE NEEDED NO FURTHER
CONVINCING. His mind was made up and that brought him

work in them until He came again to receive His people
unto Himself.
>> He who started the work would be faithful in to
complete it in you
God is not only interested in the spiritual BIRTH of
His people, but in the spiritual GROWTH of His people

ramifications.
This means that whatever development takes place in
our lives MUST COME BY WAY OF GOD WORKING IN US. This
