It is written, wherefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, WORK OUT YOUR OWN SALVATION with fear and trembling. For it is GOD which WORKS in YOU both to WILL and to DO of His good pleasure. (Philippians 2:12,13)
This is to say, you as a genuine Child of God in Christ in this World must know and understand that you have a PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY to WORK OUT YOUR OWN SALVATION with fear and trembling in this World. You may ask, how do I work out my own salvation in Christ with fear and trembling in this World? Good question! The above scriptural reference gives you a clue that you must know and understand that it is GOD who works in YOU both to WILL and to DO of His GOOD PLEASURE (purpose). This means that you as a genuine Child of God in Christ in this World must think, speak and live (make choices and take decisions) par time base on what GOD has WILL in YOU to DO as His GOOD PLEASURE (purpose) for YOU in Christ par time and NOT what you think is right or what others believe is right for you. True! This is why Apostle counselled us saying I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be NOT conformed to this World: BUT be you transformed by the renewing of your mind, that YOU MAY PROVE WHAT IS THAT GOOD, AND ACCEPTABLE, AND PERFECT, WILL OF GOD. Unfortunately, many genuine Christians (Christ's followers) are not working out their OWN SALVATION in Christ (deliverance or freedom from Self-will, Sinners-will and Satan-will and actions) in this World. This is obviously because many genuine Christians are not consciously and humbly PROOFING OUT the WILL of GOD for them in their situations, so that they can think, speak and live (make divine choices and take divine decisions) by the WILL of GOD that they have proven out, and so that they can DO the GOOD PLEASURE (Purpose) of God for them in Christ par time, par their situation. Sad but true! And this is primarily because many genuine Christians do not have a dependable close-working RELATIONSHIP with the HOLY SPIRIT of Christ that is within them in this World, to KNOW or to PROOF what is the good, acceptable and perfect WILL of God for them par time par their situation and so that they can make choices and take decisions that pleases God and give them divine results or solutions for their situation. Sad but true! Now, don't be deceived because until you learn how to think, speak and live (make choices and take decisions) based on the WILL OF GOD for you par time par your situation, you are NOT WORKING OUT YOUR OWN SALVATION in Christ (deliverance or freedom from Self-will, Sinners-will and Satan-will and actions) in this World with fear and trembling. This is because JESUS CHRIST came to suffer, died, was buried and resurrected, so that He can come into your Human spirit as the Holy Spirit to help you know or proof the WILL of God the Father for you par time par your situation and to empower you to do it as well par time par your situation. True! Halleluyah! Finally, only those who do the WILL of GOD gets the REST and BEST of God in Christ for them in this World par time par their situation and it will surprise you that only them will make Heaven at last. True! This is why JESUS CHRIST said that not every one that said unto me, Lord, Lord, shall ENTER into the KINGDOM of HEAVEN; but he that DOES the WILL of my Father which is in Heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in your name? And in your name have cast out devils? And in your name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, you that work INIQUITY. I am sent today to inform you that anything done outside the WILL of GOD in Christ in this World is INIQUITY before the eyes of God the Father in Heaven. Hmm, it is well with us all! That is why the Bible counsels us that we should Love NOT the World, neither the things that are in the World. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is NOT in him. For ALL that is in the WORLD, the LUST of the flesh, and the LUST of the eyes, and the PRIDE of life, is NOT of the Father, but is of the World. And the WORLD passeth away, and the LUST thereof: but he that DOES the WILL of GOD abides for ever. Also, that is why Jesus Christ taught us how to pray this way, after this manner therefore PRAY you: Our Father who at in Heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come. Your WILL be done in Earth, as it is in Heaven. Therefore, you Knowing (proofing out), praying and doing the WILL of GOD in Christ for you in this World par time par your situation matters. Yes, it does matters! This is why JESUS CHRIST when on the Earth did nothing outside the WILL of His Father who is in Heaven and even said to His disciples, My meat is to DO THE WILL of Him that sent me, and to FINISH HIS WORK. Hmm, whose will are you living for each day, yours, other people or Satan's will for you? Are you sure you are running your race looking unto Jesus Christ as your ultimate role model? Him alone is the ultimate example set by God the Father for you and me to model after in this World. True! (Romans 12:1,2; Romans 8:8:26-28; 1 Corinthians 2:9-16; Hebrews 5:12-14; Matthew 7:21-23; 1 John 2:15-17; James 4:1-10; Matthew 6:9,10; 1 John 5:14,15; Hebrews 12:1-14; Proverbs 1:10; Psalm 1:1-3)
Take note, take heed!
God bless you.
