in our leader's absence, what are we to do?
Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed - not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence - continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose. - Philippians 2:12-1
work out our salvation? what does that mean?
and why?
WHAT
working out our salvation. means getting to know God better. means deepening our relationship with Him. means developing our walk with Him. means learning how to live as a Christian. it is a lifelong effort.
with fear and trembling. means we need to take it seriously. means we cannot be flippant about our relationship with God; our salvation. it is a dedicated effort.
WHY
for God to act through us. it requires our willingness. to want to know Him better. to want to do His will instead of ours. to want to handle His purposes seriously. it requires a surrendered posture.
lifelong; dedicated; surrendered. to accomplish God's good purposes.
WILL we still be that way in our leader's absence?
may it be all the more.
