The work of God - All The Good Seed Daily Devotionals for 2024

Consider the work of God.
Ecclesiastes 7:13

The work of God
People who have accepted Jesus Christ as their personal Saviour can see from the Word of God how great the work of their salvation is. Today we would like to think of three aspects:

1. God has done something for us: “In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him” (1 John 4:9). Out of love to us, God sent His Son to earth as Saviour. Jesus Christ died on the cross to make the sacrifice by which we could be saved. This was God’s work for us!

2. God has worked something in us: “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope” (1 Peter 1:3). Through the work of the Holy Spirit and the Word of God, we who believe in the Lord Jesus were born again and received eternal life. This was God’s work in us.

3. God did something with us: “Giving thanks to the Father who has … conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love” (Colossians 1:12–13). At the moment of our salvation, God took us out of Satan’s sphere of power and brought us into the perfect position of the redeemed. This was God’s work with us.
Shouldn’t we want to thank our Saviour-God every day for what He has done for our salvation?
