JALAN KESERUPAAN
Filipi 1:6 (TB)
Akan hal ini aku yakin sepenuhnya, yaitu Ia, yang memulai pekerjaan yang baik di antara kamu, akan meneruskannya sampai pada akhirnya pada hari Kristus Yesus.
Filipi 1:6 (TPT)
I pray with great faith for you, because I’m fully convinced that the One who began this glorious work in you will faithfully continue the process of maturing you and will put his finishing touches to it until the unveiling of our Lord Jesus Christ!
NOTE TPT:
God initiated our salvation, continues his transforming work in us throughout our lifetimes, and will finish it when we meet him face-to-face. God’s work for us began when Christ Jesus died on the cross in our place. His work in us began when we first believed. Now the Holy Spirit lives in us, enabling us to be more like Christ every day. Paul is describing the process of becoming more like Jesus that began when we accepted him and will continue until we are united with him forever.
Do you sometimes feel as though you aren’t making enough progress in your spiritual life? When God starts a project, he completes it! As with the Philippians, God will help you grow in grace until he has completed his work in your life. When you are discouraged, remember that God won’t give up on you. When you feel incomplete, unfinished, or distressed by your shortcomings, remember God’s promises and provision. Don’t let your present, imperfect condition rob you of the joy of knowing Christ Jesus or keep you from growing closer to him.
Filipi 3:10 (TB)
Yang kukehendaki ialah mengenal Dia dan kuasa kebangkitan-Nya dan persekutuan dalam penderitaan-Nya, di mana aku menjadi serupa dengan Dia dalam kematian-Nya,
Proses kedewasaan adalah jalan menuju keserupaan dg Kristus.
