Mar 3, 2012 · Second Thessalonians 1:11 says that it is by the power of God that we will fulfill our good resolves and our works of faith. But this does not nullify the meaning of the word “resolve” and the word “work.” Part of the whole process of walking worthy of God’s call is the active engagement of our will in resolving to do righteousness.
Sep 30, 2015 · Do I resolve to serve the Lord because I am trying to secure my place in His kingdom, or is my service to Him grounded in the reality that He alone has made me a citizen of heaven, moving me to gratefully live a life that pleases Him?
The first answer is given in verse 11. It is the duty of Christians to seek God's power to fulfill good resolves because in doing that we become worthy of God's call.

Paul put it like this: “But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them, though it was not I, but the grace of God that is with me” (1 Corinthians 15:10).

Whenever we feel or see something that we should be doing that we are not doing, we should resolve: “Do it.” Whenever we are doing something that we should not be doing, and we recognize that we are doing it, we should resolve: “Don’t do it.” Resolve...
Paul said — this has been really important in my understanding, Tony, of tough decisions — in Romans 14:5: “One man esteems one day above another. Another esteems every day alike.
