This whole section of scripture is connected but we are going to work through it over two weeks.
Christ’s light shines in…
Your Participation
Philippians 2:12 (ESV)
12 Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling,
Work out means to apply salvation, not to earn it.
Salvation is yours because of Jesus purchasing it for you and the Spirit bringing it to you.
You receive it by trusting in Jesus and entrusting your life to Jesus.
What does your participation look like?
Saying yes to Jesus every day.
Confessing your struggles to Jesus every day.
Listening for the leadership of Jesus every day.
Respecting and honoring Jesus as God every day.
Christ’s light shines as …
God Works in You
All of the work you put in is really God working in you
Philippians 2:13 (ESV)
13 for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure.
God is the one who started the engine and he is the fuel that keeps the engine running.
But I want to highlight the last four words...
God is working out all of this, enabling you to say yes to Jesus, to confess to Jesus, to listen for Jesus, to honor Jesus… All these things that are the best things for you and for your good.
He is doing because he wants to.
Because it makes him happy.
God delights to grow you and mold you into a more mature christian.
What does God’s work in me look like?
He implants in me the desire to say yes to Jesus every day.
He convicts me of sin and makes me want to be holy.
He softly and gently speaks to me about what is good for me.
Your flesh and sin will BE LOUD!!!!!!
He reveals to me the worth and glory of Jesus.
What does God’s work in me look like?
He implants in me the desire to say yes to Jesus every day.
He convicts me of sin and makes me want to be holy.
He softly and gently speaks to me about what is good for me.
He reveals to me the worth and glory of Jesus.
If you work these two texts backwards they will begin to make sense… Working out salvation is simply pulling out the work that God is doing inside of our hearts by His Spirit.
If you are getting married your spouse is likely going to buy you a wedding ring.
What does that symbolize?
I wear mine everyday.
But in reality, I have to put on more than just my wedding ring for people to know I am Claire’s betrothed.
If I put on behavior that says I’m interested in other ladies, then what does that say about how I view my marriage?
Your salvation was bought by the blood of Jesus and initiated by the Spirit of Jesus, therefore, you should wear it everyday.
What now?
Do I want my entire life to be focused on Jesus?
Do I care if God hates the things that I love?
Do I feel like I have a relationship with God?
Do I see value in Jesus?
My Main Takeaway
Is there something you want to do? Something you wish you felt?
Something you know you need God to do?
