William Wilberforce, who led the charge to abolish slavery in the British Empire succeeded after 19 years of tireless defeat. Upon his victory in parliament, he asked his friend, prime minister, William Pitt, “What shall we abolish next?” Nehemiah may have shared the same sentiment as the walls of Jerusalem were completed.

Those who are in Christ have been justified before God. But salvation means much more; it means that we are sanctified, that God actually leads us into holiness. As Michael Allen and company explain, our holiness is carried out in the present work of our sovereign, loving God. In Christ we are given life, not simply in name, but in fact. Praise the Lord, who delivers His children through every weakness. Though you struggle with sin, do not be discouraged; it is God who works in you, "both to will and to work for his good pleasure" (Phil. 2:13).
