Following Principles (5 of 5)
Series: Life
Frank Damazio
Introduction: The reality of life is that we as believers have the advantage with God on our side, the Holy Spirit working in us, and the word of God empowering us. We are people who desire to live life to the full, God's way and not ours. Philippians 2:13 is the pivotal point for us to live by the principles of God's word and empowered to do so by the grace of God that works in us. It is God at work in us, always present and always working. The will and power to work out our salvation is the first installment of grace, the encouragement to make full proof of and carry out to the end that which He has first worked and is still working in us. Our will is nothing without grace and grace is inactive without our will. God process all and we are acting all; it is a divine partnership. Grace gives us the motivation and the power if we release grace by obedience. We work with God, we work seriously, and God works powerfully.
