There is no person that is too hard for God to complete a good work in. Every person, no matter how distant or what they have done in their lives is able to reach God for mercy. In fact, God has started a work in humanity that has not finished just yet. God’s spirit is active working in bringing all men to his knowledge and along the Spirit are angelic beings working the same. John 3:16 is being felt more at home today then ever. God’s love for man is on a climax, because the time is getting close for judgment. Men of all religions are coming to acknowledge Jesus Christ as Lord.
Philippians 1:6
For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus.
The day of Jesus Christ is in reference to his appearance during a designated time. Jesus said that he was going to prepare a mansion for us in his Father’s kingdom (Jh 14:2). At this moment heaven is being altered because someone is making his way to the kingdom of heaven. And, you might ask, well how can someone make his way towards heaven, by being good? The answer is that goodness does not take anyone to heaven. God has laid out the path to heaven and that is through Jesus Christ; he said, I am that way the truth and the life and no one comes to the father except through me (Jh. 14:6). In fact, the Apostle Paul writes to the church in Rome that in order for one to begin to make his way towards heaven he/she has to confess Jesus Christ as Lord (Rm. 10:9). Jesus Christ’s coming is subtle, it is with out warning, and yet we know that he is coming. Paul said that Jesus’ coming was going to be like a thief in the night(1Th. 5:2).
Now, Paul wrote to the church about the day of Christ which is different then the day of Jesus Christ. The day of Christ in reference to Philippians 1:10 “10 so that you may [a]approve the things that are excellent, in order to be sincere and blameless [b]until the day of Christ”, is similar to that one special day like we all have. That one day when you get the right job, girl friend, car and everything goes right for you. The day of Christ is the day when he will show you and me off to his Father and his angels in heaven. Our voices will not be heard anymore here in earth in the day of Christ (Rev. 18:23) because we will be in the wedding with Christ. John, when he was taken to heaven was shown the bride of Christ (Rev. 21:9) in heaven. At the day of Christ God will present us with you to Jesus (2Cor. 4:14) and everything that we ever believed will be confirmed. Paul’s work with the church sole purpose was to present it to Jesus as a pure virgin (2 Cor. 11:2). The church; you and I, one day will be presented to Jesus in a holy state (Eph. 5:27). It is when everything that Jesus worked on here in earth will be given to him just as he expected.
The day of Jesus Christ is the culminating point of the church where it will enter into the day of Christ in which all of us will be together witnessing the most important day ever.
