Wherefore, my beloved, as ye 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 worketh in you both to will and to do of His good pleasure. (Philippians 2:12-13 KJV biblestudytools.com) The scripture says, “… as ye have obeyed…” We are to exercise our faith in obedience to The Lord. GOD is at work in our lives. When we repent of our sin, and turn to GOD, we are empowered by The Spirit of GOD, to live out our faith. We work out our salvation as we put to practice what we say we believe. To GOD be the glory. In JESUS Name. Amen.
