*~ To Be Accomplished ~*

There Is A Certain Work

To Be Accomplished.

We Are To Be Delivered From

The Power Of Sin.......

We Are To Be Transformed By The

Renewing Of Our Minds......Besetting

Sins Are To Be Conquered.

Bad Habits Are To Be Overcome.

Wrong Dispositions And Feeling Are

To Be Rooted Out, And Holy Tempers

And Emotions Are To Be Begotten.

A Positive Transformation Is To Take

Place.



So At Least The Bible Teaches.

Now Somebody Must Do This.

Either We Must Do It For Ourselves,

Or Another Must Do It For Us.

We Have Most Of Us Tried To Do It For

Ourselves At First, And Have Grievously

Failed; Then We Discover From The Scriptures

And From Our Own Experience That It Is A Work

We Are Utterly Unable To Do For Ourselves, But

That The Lord Jesus Christ Has Come On Purpose

To Do It, And That He Will Do It For All Who Put

Themselves Wholly Into His Hand, And Trust Him To

Do It.

Now Under These Circumstances, What Is The Part

Of Believer, And What Is The Part Of The Lord?



Plainly The Believer Can Do Nothing But Trust;

While The Lord, In Whom He Trusts, Actually Does The Work.
