This idea is further emphasized in Philippians 2:13, which states that "it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure," highlighting the role of divine agency in shaping the Christian's thoughts, desires, and actions.

Through this process, believers are conformed to the image of Christ, demonstrating the reality of God's work in their lives.
