The Power That Worketh In Us

The Power That Worketh In Us

“Now unto Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, unto Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.” (Ephesians 3:20-21) The grace, love, and mercy of God shown toward us in and by the Lord Jesus Christ are not only doctrines we believe, they are also dynamic powers of God implanted within our hearts to motivate and drive us in the obedience of faith as we seek to follow and honor Christ in our lives. God the Holy Spirit is the sovereign Agent who imparts these graces to us. He does this by giving us a powerful revelation of God’s glory in our full salvation by the Lord Jesus Christ and the power of Christ’s blood and righteousness for our complete forgiveness and justification before God. He imparts faith to believe in Christ and submit to His righteousness whereupon we are given such a real sense of God’s love to us that we cannot help but seek to worship and honor Him in all that we think, say, and do.
