Philippians 1:6 - Jesus Can Do It! - Will You Let Him?

Philippians 1:6 (NLT) And I am certain that 
God, who began the good work within you, will 
continue his work until it is finally finished on the 
day when Christ Jesus returns.  

Philippians 1:6 (ESV) 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. 

COMMENTARY PEARL

   God always finishes what he starts - and 
that includes shaping your character. God has 
been molding your character to be like his 
Sons. 
   You were created to be like Christ.
   But heres the best part: God will 
complete what doesnt get finished in this life. 
Hell finish your character and bring you to 
perfection in heaven. 
   The Bible says, 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 
(Philippians 1:6 ESV). 
   That will be an amazing day! On that day, 
youll see Jesus face-to-face. And youll be 
transformed to be like him. 
   All your weaknesses will be gone.
   All your limps will be gone.
   All your failures and frailties will be 
gone. 
   All your insecurities will be gone.
   You will be transformed into perfection 
that day. You will totally reflect the glory of 
God. 
   Right now youre not what you ought to 
be. You are only a fraction of what you will be. 
But God says, Thats okay. Im taking my 
time. Im cheering you on at every stage. Just 
take every step with purpose, because one day 
Im going to finish what I began. And youre 
going to be changed instantly into my 
likeness. 
   That will be a day like no other.
   The Bible describes that day like this: 
Dear friends, we are already Gods children, 
but he has not yet shown us what we will be like 
when Christ appears. But we do know that we will 
be like him, for we will see him as he really 
is (1 John 3:2 NLT). 
   We have all stumbled in this race of 
life. All of us have struggled. But our race is 
not over. 
   One day we will see Jesus face-to-face. 
And well never be the same again. [Daily
