Philippians 1:6 offers us enduring hope for change in our lives:
"And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ."Notice what this verse is suggesting to us: "He has begun the good work in me, I know that, but I still struggle constantly. But this verse promises that He will see it to completion...therefore, I can have real hope that in some measure I will eventually, and hopefully in this fallen world, experience victory over what troubles me."
There is much hope in the promise of Philippians 1:6. The promise of sanctification is that He will make our lives holier for sure. Easier? Perhaps not and certainly not always, but the promise of progressive holiness endures. In the grand scheme of things, what else should we want out of this life than to be the human beings we were meant to be?
