All true Christians are called by God’s Grace to resist evil and to choose God’s goodness. Let’s work together!
Let us combine our hearts and magnify God with this irresistible and Prevenient Grace that is given to our Christian hearts and minds, and employ the very Fullness of His Grace, to do good things, be happy with ourselves, churches, our homes, and call others to His service. No one has reason to be happier and harder-working than Christians.

“Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; For it is God that worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure” (Philippians 2:12-13).

“No wonder either, that pagan philosophy opposes the Gospel of the Cross of Christ, when Jewish learning also resists it. We conclude that neither the learned nor the illiterate of whatever race or rank come to God led by human reason; but every man who is converted to God is first stirred by God’s Grace. For man is no light unto himself, nor can he inflame his own heart with a ray of his own light” (The Call to All Nations; Chapter 8; Section 66; Saint Prosper of Aquitaine; A.D. 529).

“First. God worketh in you; therefore you can work: Otherwise it would be impossible. If he did not work it would be impossible for you to work out your own salvation. ‘With man this is impossible’, saith our Lord, ‘for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven’. Yea, it is impossible for any man, for any that is born of a woman, unless God work in him” (On Working Out Our Own Salvation – Sermon 85; Part III; Section 3; John Wesley; 1785).
