Have you ever considered yourself as a good work? Why not’? Look at what scripture says: “I am convinced and confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will [continue to] perfect and complete it until the day of Christ Jesus [the time of His return].”(Philippians 1:6, AMP)
