1, that it is God who started a good work
2, that God is the one who completes the work he began.
When a person proceeds with confidence in his work,
And the result of working with people who deal with it without any certainty is in heaven and on earth
The difference will be more than enough.
It is better not to expect the results of things you are not sure of.
More than work, the assurance of faith in God we all have
Rhoda is indescribably more important.
Abraham could leave Ur of the Chaldeans and set out for the land of God.
It was because he was sure of God for himself.
Moses pushed out his dry staff toward the Red Sea, which was also
It was his conviction that divided the sea like that.
He believed that the young boy David went toward Goliath the eighth commander.
Because he was sure of God.
Today, whether our life of faith succeeds or not, we
It can be said that it depends on what kind of confidence you have in God.
1, I am convinced that it is God who started the good
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
Apostle Paul's whole life was a life of firm conviction in God.
verse 6
“Know that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion by the day of Christ Jesus.
I'm sure"
In today's verse, Paul is convinced of two things.
First of all, I was convinced that it was God who started a good work in you.
The second is that God is the one who completes what has begun in you.
I was sure of shim.
Then he said that it was God who started the good work, which is the first conviction.
What the hell do you mean by good deeds?
Last time we looked at the words of the apostle Paul about thanksgiving.
saw.
From the time the Philippians planted the Philippian church together with him, Paul
One thought of the things he had done for him until now
As I prayed, I thanked God.
In verse 6, Paul calls those things that he could thank God for as good works.
is doing
It was possible to start doing good works for the Philippian believers in this way
Now that God has been present in the saints and has begun to do so many things,
He is firmly convinced in his heart.
It can be seen that good thoughts and evil thoughts are always fighting in people's hearts.
The Apostle Paul said in Romans 7:23
“There is another law in my members that fights the law of my heart,
I see them bringing me captive under the law of sin."
These two minds are in the hearts of all of us.
But a good heart is a gift from God.
If you don't, you can say that it was given to you by something other than God.
So, what Paul is saying with certainty now is that
will be.
"He who began a good work in you ..." is convinced that God is.
Just as the Philippian church members have a good heart, God is in our hearts too.
We must also be convinced that God still commands good works.
for the church
Good deeds for the brothers and sisters of the Church...
Instruct your heart to want to do it even if it's a bowl of cold water
There is someone who exists, and that person is God.
The apostle Paul gave thanks to God in verse 3 because God
You have given these kind hearts to the hearts of the saints, but with this good work in mind,
When he thinks of what he was able to make a decision to put into practice without finishing it, his mind
I couldn't help but be filled with gratitude.
It is God who initiated the good work, and he
How pleased God must have been who gave him that heart if he did not reject it...
So, while Paul was in prison, he was thankful when he thought of only the Philippians
it was overflowing
Paul, who is convinced in his heart of God, who made his thanks abound.
Even though I was in prison, I was satisfied with God alone.
2, confident that the one who started the work will complete it

Let's read verse 6 together.
“Know that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion by the day of Christ Jesus.
We are sure" Amen!
In our proverb, there is something called dragon-dussami.
As you are well aware, when you start work, you start out big and big.
I'm talking about results that have a fuzzy ending.
However, there are people around us who are not even a dragon-dussami.
I can't start the good things that come to mind, and I'm feeling uneasy in my heart
Some have shrimp.
Yodusami or not, it's all because people are lacking.
But today Paul is convinced in his heart that "Philippians
Just as it was God who started the work of the saints, so
He is convinced that it is God who must accomplish what he has done.
Whereas many people end with their hearts alone, the Philippians
The voice of the Holy Spirit at work was being put into practice, and God
The word of the day is that you will complete it.
It's easy for all of us to end up with a dragon head.
But the God we believe in must finish what he started
You are a drinker
Do not reject the work of the Holy Spirit working in your heart, and do not rebel.
Don't be an incompetent person who only does big things and can't do anything.
I hope you start with the little things in your heart, step by step.
Just start and God will make it happen.
A person named Butler told me this.
It was a story of people living on a certain beach.
People who have lived by watching the high and low tides intersect every day
It's a story.
There is one thing they never doubt.
Tomorrow, and the next tomorrow, it will still rise and fall as before
There is no doubt that the ebb will cross.
It was because he lived watching the high and low tides intersect every day.

It's a good thing, but if there is something whispering in your heart that you are kind, put it into practice
hope
If these things are repeated frequently, eventually you will also be working in your heart.
God is not the only one who initiates; He does half of the things that He began.
You will be sure that you are the one who makes it happen.
Although they have believed in Jesus for a long time, there are people who live in doubt.
There are people who have believed in Jesus for a long time but have no fruit.
It is because he lived while rejecting the history of the heart.
It is because the history of the mind did not begin.
Verse 6...
“Know that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion by the day of Christ Jesus.
we are sure"
Here, in the word “confirmed”, we are convinced of everything God does.
It is a word with meaning.
The Apostle Paul never refused or refused any good works that were working in his heart.
did not doubt
That confident faith was able to color Rome with the Gospel.
Who sent the apostle Paul to Rome?
It is God.
Then who is the one who accomplishes what he sent?
He is also God.
Paul's confidence in this God was able to color Rome with the gospel.
