We see that God makes His people willing through His power, as evidenced by their generous actions and spirit-filled service (2 Corinthians 8:3).
The notion that God makes us willing is deeply rooted in the understanding that our capacity to serve and give comes from His divine assistance. The Apostle Paul's testimony about the Macedonian churches illustrates this point; they were willing to give even beyond their ability, which reflects the transformational work of God's grace in their hearts. Furthermore, the promise in Psalm 110 about God's people being willing highlights that it is in God's day of power that true willingness emerges. This underscores the belief that without God's sovereign intervention, human hearts are prone to rebel. God works within us 'both to will and to do of His good pleasure' (Philippians 2:13), guiding willing hearts toward obedience.
