Pray the Word with David Platt is a resource from radical.net.

Philippians chapter 1, verse 6, and I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you

will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.

Oh, what a great verse. The God who begins work, completes work.

This is talking specifically about our salvation,

how when God draws us to himself, to faith in Jesus,

and think of all we've prayed according to if you've been following along

through Galatians and Ephesians now in Philippians, sealed with the promised Holy Spirit,

seated with Jesus in the heavenly realms, saved, brought from death to life. Well, God doesn't do all that to then just leave us alone.

No, he has started a good work that he is going to carry to completion.

So our justification before God, being made right before God through faith in Jesus leads to sanctification from God,

meaning he has begun a process in each of our lives as his sons and daughters for all who've

trusted in Jesus. He's begun a process of making us look more and more and more like Jesus.

He's conforming us into the image of Jesus,

and one day he's going to bring it to completion.

At the day of Jesus Christ,

what we sometimes call glorification,

the time when we are fully transformed in the image of Jesus

in a 1-John-3 kind of way when we see him and we will

be like him as he is obviously not divine in the way Jesus is but we will be fully conformed into

his image free from sin and all of its effects for that matter, sorrow and suffering and death.

Like this is coming for you, Christian, this day of completion.
