Obedience
Therefore, my beloved, u as you have always ◊ obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, v work out your own ◊ salvation with w ◊ fear and trembling; 13 for x it is God who ◊ works in you both to will and to do y for His good pleasure. Phil. 2:12-13 NKJV
In view of the obedience of Christ and His lordship, the Philippians should show a like obedience. Paul does not teach that salvation is dependent on one’s continued works, but that salvation must express itself in progressive Christian living and upright character, not only individually, but through obedient participation in God’s corporate call to a local church.
Philippians Invites
Express God’s gracious work of salvation in you through your obedience to Him. Recognize that God gives you the desire and ability to do what pleases Him.
Blessings
