The Pilgrim Path---Philippians 1: 6 (3—4—24)

And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Christ Jesus.

“HE WHO BEGAN A GOOD WORK…”

The Apostle Paul knew he was in God’s hand. The great saint reminds us---We got into this Holy Family of Christ---by His power. HE started our new life. We get distracted, disoriented, and discouraged---and must keep returning to the Life of God’s Word. It is when we fail to believe the Word or act contrary to its teaching that we fall into chaos. The battle of sanctification involves yielding to Jesus Christ in all things every day.

From Thomas Manton: Though we are renewed, we have not fully recovered from the injury we received by the fall of Adam. If God withdraws his life-giving strength, our secret corruptions will break forth and our interest in holy things will soon disappear. O the glory of God’s grace! From the first to the last we are indebted to it (Gal. 2: 20). We can do nothing without him. When we come to heaven, how will our souls admire the riches of his glorious grace.
