Our God and Father’s Instruments
In bringing a Christian to perfected holiness our God and Father uses instruments just as a potter, artist and/or doctor uses instruments (Jeremiah 18:1-6).
1. The Word (2 Thessalonians 2:13; Hebrews 4:12; Ephesians 6:17)
2. Promises (2 Corinthians 7:1)
3. Protective Restraints (1 Corinthians 10:13)
4. Discipline (Hebrews 12:10)
5. His People (“One Another” Relationships – Hebrews 10:24-25)
“Perfected holiness is the result of God’s working within the Christian, but let us not think the Christian can be passive throughout.” (Albert Barnes)
We must give our lives to our God and Father, practically applying our God and Father’s instructions (Ephesians 2:10)!
The Promise of Our God and Father
“…He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ…” (Philippians 1:6)
