It is the Holy Spirit that begins a new work in us – from the very moment  of  salvation in Christ. And God promises that He  continues that good work in us all the way through to His return. What an amazing mystery, that Almighty God would choose to somehow enter His creation.  He does not “lower Himself” nor condescend nor stoop… to do so.  It is in His very nature to love us so. God is love and humbleness — in the same breath with His Omnipotence and unequaled Awesomeness.
