Philippians 2:13
13 for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure.
Are you trying to earn God's approval? Jesus did away with that when He became sin for us. You don't have to strive to please God; He already loves you. Instead, live in His light, find freedom in Jesus and learn to love God. As you do, you'll discover that God gives you the desire and power to obey him.

The Father works in us!
John 17:22
"The glory which You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one, just as We are one"
The Father works in us as He and the Holy Spirit worked in Christ as one. Because we are one with Christ, we to are one with the Father and the Holy Spirit. If we stand together and live as one with our redeemer we will have broken hearts for the fallen and the weak; those in need will make us weep. If the church don't love then who will. We must stand together and be broken for each other and the needy. By this they will know we are different than the world and God will receive all the glory for His work in us.
The duty of the church is to help one another
Galatians 6:1 Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted.
This is the duty of the church to help one another in restoring and growth. Paul is saying those who are spiritual should restore the ones who need restoring. He is talking to the church as a whole not to a single person but to all who are spiritual. I don't understand why we think today it is the pastors job. We find Paul saying the same all through the Bible. It is the duty of the church to grow and build one another up under Christ, who is head of the church.
The church can't stand on two feet but needs many
Ephesians 4:16
from whom the whole body, being fitted and held together by what every joint supplies, according to the proper working of each individual part, causes the growth of the body for the building up of itself in love.
It is clear its not the responsibility of a individual, but instead it is the responsibility of the whole church (the body). Paul is not writing this to individuals, but he is writing it to the church (the body).
John 13:35 "By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
We cannot come to being the church without one another; it is the church that stands not the man w
God's sacrifices
Hebrews 10:12-14 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
12 but He, having offered one sacrifice for sins for all time, sat down at the right hand of God, 13 waiting from that time onward until His enemies be made a footstool for His feet. 14 For by one offering He has perfected for all time those who are sanctified.
These verses are real good and also why I have found so much joy in the Lord. But let's not forget all of God's word is real good. I love God's truth and how it works in us who are being sanctified for all time. Because the Lord Jesus was perfect and died for the payment of sin for those who are in Him. We also are made perfect by H
