How does God's grace enable the willing heart of a believer?

In Exodus 35, we see that the willing hearts of the Israelites were stirred by God’s Spirit. This demonstrates that their willingness to give and serve was not derived from their own initiative but was a result of God's sovereign work within them. Paul echoes this sentiment in Philippians 2:13, stating that it is God who works in the believers both to will and to do. Therefore, the willingness to serve God is an act of grace; it reveals the transformational power of God in a believer’s life, enabling them to act according to His will and purpose.
