For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of His good pleasure. – Philippians 2:13

My soul pants and pines to see Christ glorious in the eyes of men. Now, if Christ is to be glorified, He must be glorified by you; if His kingdom is to come, it must come through you. God works, but God works by means. He worketh in you “to will and to do of His own good pleasure.” Souls are to be saved, but they are not saved without instruments. The feast is to be furnished with guests, but you are to go into the highways and hedges and compel them to come in… Now we, as a people, have been greatly blessed and helped of God, and I believe the Master has a very high claim upon us. We are indebted to the grace and mercy of God, and we ought to be doing something for the extension of the Savior’s kingdom. We are a feeble folk; what can we do for God? Why, do as much as the strong! What can we do for God? Do as much as the mighty!

I must fight for God! there must be victories won for Him! We must extend the range of the gospel; we must find places where souls can be brought to hear the Word. Hell shall not for ever laugh at our inactivity, and heaven shall not eternally weep at our sloth! In God’s name, go forward, and let something be done for God, and for His Christ, for a perishing age, for a dark world, for heaven’s glory, and for hell’s defeat. Up! ye who know the Lord; ye swordsmen of our Israel, up and at them, and God give you a great victory and deliverance! “He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.” Hear ye that note, O dead souls, and live. ~ C.H. Spurgeon
