Frequently Asked Questions

What does it mean that God will finish His work in me?

It means your spiritual growth, character development, and divine purpose are under God's management. He doesn't abandon projects. The same power that saved you is actively shaping you into Christ's image until the day of completion.

Does this mean I don't need to do anything?

God's sovereignty and human responsibility work together. Paul said 'work out your own salvation' while acknowledging 'it is God which worketh in you' (Philippians 2:12-13). You cooperate with what God initiates.
