God’s Work for You, In You, and Through You as a Believer

His work not ours

By Arthur J Licursi 

The heart of the genuine believer is toward the Lord from the day of their salvation… then desiring to live righteously and according to His will. But we often fail and falter.

Thankfully, it is God’s Work: for us, in us, and through us that is the profitable source that is always working in our lives… through “all things.”

Our one work is to trust Christ and His Cross. Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God (for you), that ye believe on (trust in) him whom he (The Father) hath sent. John 6:29. He and His All-sufficient Work for us at the Cross is the very basis of our being accepted by God our Father. The Godhead life that is “In Christ” is now in us... as our new life.

Please study and meditate upon these Bible statements of fact below concerning His work for you, in you, and through you. Note always exactly ‘Who’ it is doing the work!

I’ve added emphasis in the following verse in parenthesis. In reading these verses, we all should become ‘unburdened’ by resting in His plan, His will, and His Work, in Our lives.
