Proverbs of a 35 yr old man
God has given us different gifts for doing certain things well according to his grace. Are we working hard to show the results of such a great gift of salvation? It's like someone buying you a gift that requires assembly. That same person comes back to you later to see if you enjoyed their gift, but you still haven't gotten it out of the box. You received it but never took it out to enjoy it. When we reverence and fear God we are allowing him to work in us. He gives us the desire and power to do what pleases him. And with Christ strength we begin to unwrap the gift of Holy Spirit into our lives. As we are assemblied from faith to faith we reap the benefits of relationship with Christ. When he is finished with us we will be like him, a gift for himself from us. Study Phil. 1:6
