In a recent message of encouragement, Rabbi Kirt Schneider reminded believers of the powerful promise found in Philippians 1:6: “I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will complete it.” These words from the apostle Paul offer deep reassurance that God is not only the initiator of our faith, but the one who sees it through to completion.

“Aren’t you thankful to know that God that began a good work in your life is going to complete it?” Schneider asked. “We can trust Him, beloved friend, to finish what He’s begun in us.”
This message centers on one key truth: our walk with God depends not on our strength, but on His faithfulness. “I’m so happy that it’s not up to me. Aren’t you?” he continued. “If it was up to me, I would have failed a long time ago… I’m depending on God.”
Schneider emphasized that God is the author and finisher of our faith, and that He takes an active role in our spiritual journey—guiding us, correcting us, and lifting us when we fall. “He’s the one that keeps us walking the straight and narrow path,” he said. “He’s the one that disciplines us… the one that’s at work in our life, both to will and do for His good pleasure.”
This reminder is not just about God’s power—it’s about His deep love. “We didn’t choose Him, He chose us,” Schneider said. “And He’s going to complete for His glory the good work that He began in your life and in my life.”
