Have you ever heard of a
newborn walking out of the delivery room?
No?
Me neither!
That's because God designed our growth, development and maturation to be a process.
First we lie on our backs, then we flip over, and then we crawl, and finally we walk.
And the same thing is true of those born of God.
In the beginning we have many gifts -- His Spirit, His righteousness, His inheritance, etc...
But this is just the beginning.
From there we are destined to grow... both in our desire and our ability to serve Him.
And He is the one who brings this about.
"For it is God who is producing in you both the desire and the ability to do what pleases him" (Phil.2:13).
