Listen from:
“It is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of His good pleasure” (Phil. 2:13).
“The God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, make you perfect in every good work to do His will, working in you that which is well-pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ.” “For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.” “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God. For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.” “By the grace of God I am what I am: and His grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.” “Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think anything as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God.”
God works in the hearts of His own
To cause them to will and to do
That which will honor the Savior,
And refresh with heavenly dew.
Heb. 13:20-21; 1 Thess. 2:13; Rom. 12:2-3; 1 Cor. 15:10; 2 Cor. 3:5.
