There has never been the slightest doubt in my mind that the very God who started this great work in you will keep at it, and bring it to a flourishing finish on the very day Christ Jesus appears.
Philippians 1:6
This is The Message version if the classic verse about “He who began a good work in you will be faithful to complete it,” something I feel like my parents said a lot during my teenage years, perhaps in the hopes it would encourage me. That was a lost cause back then — I enjoyed wallowing in emo back then — but I always thought this was about God finishing what He starts.
