OUR SALVATION Working With God (Phil. 2:12-13)
Work Out Your Own Salvation • By BELIEVING (Rom. 10:17) • God works by Giving word of faith (Rom. 10: 6-17, I Thess. 2:13) • We do the believing (Jn. 8:24) • Saving faith works through obedience (Phil. 2:12, Jms. 2:17, 21-22, Mk. 16:15-16)
Work Out Your Own Salvation • By STANDING (Eph. 6:10-18) • God’s Armor gives us the ability to stand (v. 10) • Spiritual armor – Spiritual foe (v. 12) • We put on the armor (God’s blessings through the Gospel) – we withstand in order to stand (v. 13) • We pray (v. 18, Jms. 5:16)
Work Out Your Own Salvation • By DOING GOOD (2 Cor. 5:10) • God reveals what is “good” through His “word” (2 Tim. 3:16-17) • We exercise our senses to discern “good” and “evil” (Heb. 2:14) • We are “God’s workmanship” – But we must “work” that which is “good” (Eph. 2:10, Jn. 5:28-29)
Work Out Your Own Salvation • By FURTHERING THE GOSPEL (Phil. 2:14-18) • God works in us the will (desire) to do His Good pleasure – His grace (I Cor. 15:10, I Tim. 2:4) • We live as lights in the world (Phil. 2:14-15) • Paul’s glory – Paul’s race (Phil. 2:16) • Is saving others our mutual bond – Our mutual joy (Phil. 2:17-18)? • Are we like Timothy – furthering the Gospel (Phil. 2:20-22)?
Believing (Rom. 10:17) Standing (Eph. 6:10-18) Furthering the Gospel (Phil 2:14-18) Doing Good (2 Cor. 5:10) Work Out What God Works in Should be serious to you – “fear and trembling” He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved (Mk. 16:15-16)
