Philippians 1:6 being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.
This verse gives us a wonderful promise regarding our spiritual transformation. God promises that the good work He began in us will be completed. The moment you put your faith in Jesus Christ, God begins transforming you into His likeness, and He will faithfully continue that work throughout your life.
It is easy to become discouraged because we still struggle with sin. But remember, God is at work in you right now. He will never abandon the work He has begun.
Continue trusting in Christ and filling your life with His Word. Depend on the Holy Spirit to guide you day by day. Ask God to give you the strength to resist sin and obey His will.
One day, when Jesus returns, His work of sanctification will be complete. You will be perfectly like Christ and see Him face to face. Until then, rest in this promise: God is faithful, and He will finish what He has started. ~ Jeff M Newman

Observe Jesus’ Commands
Don’t disregard the commandment of God to keep the commandment of men. Don’t replace true devotion to God with external rituals and traditions.
Mark 7:5-8 So the Pharisees and scribes questioned Jesus: “Why do Your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders? Instead, they eat with defiled hands.” 6 Jesus answered them, “Isaiah prophesied correctly about you hypocrites, as it is written: ‘These people honor Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me. 7 They worship Me in vain; they teach as doctrine the precepts of men.’ 8 You have disregarded the commandment of God to keep the tradition of men.”
