Thou Hast Worked in Us

“For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.” – Ephesians 2:10

“It is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.” We may take the best heed to our life, but we shall stumble or go astray unless He who first set us in the path shall guide us in it. “I taught Ephraim also to go, taking them by their arms.” “He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth me beside the still waters.” To stray is natural; to keep to the path of right is spiritual. To err is human; to be holy is divine. To fall is the natural effect of evil; but to stand is the glorious effect of the Holy Spirit working in us, both to will and to do of His own good pleasure. There was never yet a heavenly thought, never yet a hallowed deed, never yet a consecrated act acceptable to God by Jesus Christ, which was not worked in us by the Holy Ghost. Thou hast worked all our works in us. “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.”

Thou hast worked in us, and unto Thee would we give well-deserved thanks. So, then, all the doings of the Christian, both the little and the major doings, are all the teachings of the Holy Ghost. ~ C.H. Spurgeon

  2. What’s there not to like about all the reassuring words Spurgeon gives to the Holy Spirit! All this clearly states we are not our own when we are in Christ. Thank you for sharing this. Blessings Always.
