How can we understand God's work in our hearts?

Philippians 2:13 states, 'For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of His good pleasure.' This passage encapsulates the transformative power of God’s grace, as it is through His working that we develop a desire for righteousness and obedience. Understanding this truth assures us that spiritual maturity and good works are not from our own strength but are products of God’s work within us. As we yield to the Holy Spirit, He continues to mold our hearts, instilling in us a desire to glorify God in our actions. Additionally, the works that God produces in us are viewed as expressions of His sovereign grace, where we cannot take credit for them, as all divine works lead back to His glory.
