"What's more, I am sure that God, who started the great work inside you, will proceed with his work until it is at long last completed on the day when Christ Jesus returns" (Philippians 1:6 NLT, second version).
It takes years for us to develop to adulthood, and it takes a full season for natural product to develop and age. The same is valid for the product of the Spirit. The advancement of Christ-like character can't be surged. Profound development, as physical development, requires some serious energy.
Before Christ enters our lives at transformation, he regularly should permit us to experience issues with the goal that he can stand out enough to be noticed and demonstrate to us that we're carrying on with an existence based on a defective establishment. In truth, that broken establishment is the thing that causes a considerable lot of the issues in our lives.
Jesus requests that we surrender the majority of our life to him. He doesn't need a little parcel of who you are. It resembles this — when you're attempting to move out of a waterway that has a precarious bank, you need to get an a dependable balance on something to begin the trip. Furthermore, once you get the a dependable balance, you can ascend the bank and walk all around.
A few of us, when we welcomed Jesus into our lives, essentially gave him a toehold, yet we're opposing his endeavors to step completely up onto the bank so he can completely get to our lives. Jesus isn't willing to remain there on that a dependable balance. He needs you to give him the greater part of your life Warren said.
You may think you've surrendered all your life to him, yet actually, there are parts of your life that regardless you're clinging to. Jesus isn't annoyed with you. He basically needs to work with you to help you reveal regions that regardless you have to surrender to him.
There will be battles and fights, yet the result will never be being referred to. God has guaranteed that "he who started a decent work in you will convey it on to fruition until the day of Christ Jesus" (Philippians 1:6 NIV)
