'Work out', not 'Work for' your Salvation!
A lot of people are ignorant of God's mind concerning a lot of issues. Hence, the walk on in darkness. In Philippians 2:12, Paul by the Spirit, admonishes us to 'Work out our salvation, with fear and trembling.' A lot of people have misunderstood this to mean, 'Work for your salvation', where we do something good enough for us to be accepted before God. Well, Scriptures are clear; it is 'work out your salvation'. This means to, 'Bring that which is on the inside to the out' .Salvation occurs in the Spirit when you believe in your heart and confess with your mouth the Lordship of Jesus. But, God wants it to be evident to everyone else, so he says to, 'Work out'; bring to outward expression the salvation on the inside. This we do in prayer, study and meditation on the Word and as we fellowship with brethren. As we do so, our fellowship becomes effectual as we, 'acknowledge every good thing in us in Christ Jesus'-Philemon 1:6 #PresentTruth #GreaterGlory
