1.4 Working from the Energy of God
-
Yes! So often I’ve heard the idea that we don’t need to do anything now that we are in Christ, it should all be effortless… But scripture is pretty clear that we still need to struggle and choose.

Reading these passages and watching the video I thought it is very important to know that we also have to put in effort. God doesn’t just change you if you don’t allow Him to do so. God is amazing and His love is never ending. His grace is enough, but that doesn’t mean we are to just sit back and do nothing. God requires many things of us and we ought to do them, not because we have to (that would turn into legalism) But because we want to serve God and do His will. He won’t drag us into Heaven. what we have to do is so small compared to what God has done for us.

We are saved through grace not works.
we work with energy from the Holy Spirit who works in us.
Without the energy of the Holy Spirit, I can do nothing.
I am like my 1940s electric drill that will not drill a hole in a piece of wood unless it is plugged in and turned on.

Amazing, I had never thought of the significance of this wonderful passages in Greek language before.
Thanks for this knowledge. Interestingly, in my personal experience, i can only see from whence i came and where God has brought me today.
Actually, it’s quite amazing the transformation that His energizing power has worked in me and continues to work in me. It is a joy to be alive, in-God. Thank you Jesus.
