And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.
Philippians 1:6 (ESV)
Abraham was called the friend of God and father of us all: ‘…and the Scripture was fulfilled that says, “Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness”—and he was called a friend of God.’ (James 2:23).
What was so special about Abraham that he is known as a friend of God?
He was blessed with the gift of faith. He was fully convinced that God was able to do what he had promised. That is why his faith was counted to him as righteousness. Abraham’s faith being counted to him as righteousness was not written just for Abraham alone, it applies to all who believe in God’s promises: ‘…the words “it was counted to him” were not written for his sake alone, but for ours also. It will be counted to us who believe in him who raised from the dead Jesus our Lord…’ (Romans 4:23-24).
We can fully believe that the ‘good work’ that the Father began in every believer will be completed. And what exactly is that good work? ‘…my little children, for whom I am again in the anguish of childbirth until Christ is formed in you!’ (Galatians 4:19). Through the Holy Spirit, the Father is forming the very image of His beloved Son in every believer.
With the very same gift of faith that God gave to Abraham and that he gives to us today, we can completely trust him to fulfill all his promises. ‘For all the promises of God find their Yes in him. That is why it is through him that we utter our Amen to God for his glory.’ (2 Corinthians 1:20). As we believe God’s promise to complete the ‘good work’ that he began in each of us, that faith will also be credited to us as righteousness, the same as Abraham.
So, like Abraham, we too can be friends of God credited with righteousness.
Prayer
Father in heaven, thank you for the gift of faith which enables me to believe your precious promises and to be credited with righteousness. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Leave a comment by Pastor Calvin Simon
You might ask whether knowing that God is a Trinity is important. The answer is ABSOLUTELY YES! God reveals Himself in a three-fold way. The Father sends the Son to become human and bring about reconciliation. The Son perfectly accomplishes His mission and ascends back to heaven to send the Holy Spirit in His name. The Holy Spirit comes in the name of Jesus, bringing people to repentance and uniting them to the perfect humanity of Jesus. This is how God shows His love.
All three Persons (prosopons) of God work together to establish a right relationship between God and humanity, through the Person and humanity of Jesus. Removing any Person of the Godhead removes us from the redemptive work that God has done. God is not three interchangeable parts or three modes of being that simply change roles. There is a true distinction among them (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit). The Father is never begotten and never proceeds. The Son is the only begotten and never proceeds. The Holy Spirit is never begotten and is the only one who proceeds.
The three Persons of the one God do not merely coexist; they subsist with one another. They have their being in relationship. The Father is not the Father apart from His relationship with the Son and in the Spirit. The Son is not the Son apart from being the Son of this Father and in the fellowship of this Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is not the Holy Spirit apart from being the Holy Spirit of the Father and the Son.
Scriptures:
Can you see The Father-Son-Holy-Spirit (Three-fold-God) through these scriptures?
Matt 28:18-20 / 2 Cor 13:14 / Rom 11:36 / 1 Cor 8:4-7a
“The doctrine of the Trinity means that relationship, that fellowship, that togetherness and sharing, that self-giving and other-centeredness are not afterthoughts with God, but the deepest truth about the being of God. The Father is not consumed with Himself; He loves the Son and the Spirit. And the Son is not riddled with narcissism; he loves his Father and the Spirit. And the Spirit is not preoccupied with himself and his own glory; the Spirit loves the Father and the Son. Giving, not taking; other-centeredness, not self-centeredness; sharing, not hoarding are what fire the rockets of God and lie at the very center of God’s existence as Father, Son, and Spirit.” — Baxter Kruger

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.
2 Corinthians 13:14 (ESV)
For many people in their journey of faith, God is an enigma – someone who is mysterious or puzzling. They may struggle to know God or may ask who or what he is.
In a faith journey, many will see God as someone in the sky, invisible but somehow able to watch us here below. Many will think of God as a singular person, invisible and ruling over everything. For example, Islam refers to God as Allah, a very powerful singular person.
The astonishing truth is that God is far greater than anything we can think of or imagine. God is a being who is three divine persons in relationship: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit – one Being who is Three Persons.
The Father, the Son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit are all distinct – yet they exist in perfect unity. The Apostle Paul refers to this unity when he writes, ‘And you show that you are a letter from Christ delivered by us, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.’ (2 Corinthians 3:3)
God offers a holy, loving relationship: a fellowship or communion that believers are destined to participate in as the children of God (Ephesians 1:3-6). God is building a relationship with each and every one of us. We are created to experience this relationship of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit – we are all included in his love and grace.
The Father is calling us now to participate in this amazing relationship. As it says in 1 Corinthians 1:9: ‘God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.’ And Romans 11:29 tells us: ‘…the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.’
It is encouraging to know that God is not going to change his mind about calling us, may He help us to respond wholeheartedly.
Prayer
Father in heaven, please enable us to understand Who You are in Your Relationship with the Son and Holy Spirit. Help us to understand your calling and respond in a manner that is pleasing to you. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
