How do we know God works through us according to scripture?
Answered in 1 source
Scripture emphasizes that it is God who works in believers to will and to do His good pleasure (Philippians 2:13).
The understanding of God's working through us is clearly articulated in Philippians 2:13, which states, 'For it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.' This verse highlights that the ability to perform good works is not from ourselves but is a direct result of God's grace and power at work within us. Additionally, we see in Ephesians 2:10 that we are created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand. This illustrates not only the sovereignty of God in salvation but also in the sanctification and actions of believers, affirming the Reformed doctrine that all glory belongs to God alone.
