He Who Began a Good Work: Assurance for Weary Believers in the Faithfulness of Christ

Every Christian eventually asks the same quiet question. Can I really trust Christ to finish what He started in me?Some ask it after a failure. Some ask it beside a hospital bed. Some carry it silently for years, underneath the singing and the serving, afraid of what the answer might be.He Who Began a Good Work is written for that person. Not to win a theological argument, and not to hand you one more thing you have to do, but to turn your eyes away from yourself and fix them on the faithfulness of Christ.Walking slowly through a single verse, Philippians 1:6, Ed Barlow opens the great movements of the gospel, how God begins the work, chooses, atones, calls, and completes it, and shows at every turn that your assurance was never meant to rest on the strength of your grip on Christ. It rests on the strength of His grip on you.This is a book for the ordinary believer who loves Scripture but has never been quite sure the promises were strong enough to hold them. You do not need a seminary education to read it. You need only a willingness to look where it is pointing.If you have spent years measuring your standing with God by how you feel on a given day, this book invites you to lay that burden down, and to rest, at last, in the One who began a good work in you and has promised to bring it to completion.
