Hello @GodsGrace,Jesus finished HIS work. He came to do the Father's will and so Jesus completed God's salvation economy.
Jesus becomes the author of eternal salvation for all who obey Him.
So it would seem to me that we now have OUR part to do.
All good.
But the above starts out with Hebrews 6:9-11.
Paul is confident that we will produce good fruit.
When Jesus' work ended.....which was doing the will of the Father....
Now WE must also do the will of the Father.
John 6:38
John 14:16-17
Jesus sent us a helper, comforter, paraclete for this reason.
Some understand IT IS FINISHED to mean that everything is finished,,even that we are to do the will of the Father. Since it has already been done by Jesus FOR US.....
AMEN!
Reading through your post my mind thought of the following verses:-
'Then said they unto Him,
"What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?
Jesus answered and said unto them,
"This is the work of God, that ye believe on Him whom He hath sent."'
(John 6:28-29)
* Are we not, by actively believing on the Lord Jesus Christ, His person and His work, doing the work of God?
Thank you, GodsGrace.
In Christ Jesus
