#GodSavingGrace - Salvation is the clear immediate context of today's text. The workings of God in us unto saving grace are carried out by God the Holy Spirit as we obediently submit to and apply the truth of the Gospel in our lives. This is the same as working in the Spirit (Galatians 5: 16-17). Clearly then, today's text does not mean that God overrides our free will. No, but in agreement with our human will (when we choose God), God works in us to will and work for his good pleasure, that is our new birthday, our spiritual transformation, our growth in Him and ultimately our glorification when we see Him face to face. This doesn't mean that we are co-authors of our salvation. No, salvation is entirely the work of God. But this work cannot begin, progress and reach its climax without our consent, faith and concious choice to live for Him (Matthew 13: 55-58; Mark 6: 3-6).
