WORK OUT YOUR SALVATION

[Philippians 2:12-15 KJV] 12 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.
13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of
[his] good pleasure. 14 Do all things without murmurings and
disputings: 15 That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons
of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse
nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;
Many think this verse is saying a believer has to work out
salvation in order not to lose it. That is not what Paul is
saying here. First of all it should be noted that Paul says to
"work out" salvation NOT "work for" it. Paul was saying the
working out of their salvation involved being obedient to do the
will of God.
We are to work out our salvation with fear and trembling. This
is not to say we are to be fearful of losing our salvation. Paul
speaks of obedience being accompanied with fear and
trembling.......... [Ephesians 6:5 KJV] 5 Servants, be obedient
to them that are [your] masters according to the flesh, with
fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ;
Paul was not afraid of losing his salvation, but was obedient to
please God by doing his will, to be approved and useful to
God...........[1Corinthians 9:27 KJV] 27 But I keep under my
body, and bring [it] into subjection: lest that by any means,
when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.
There are verses to consider in regard to working out of our
salvation and doing the will of God. To do the will of God we
must obey these verses.......... [Ephesians 4:31-32 KJV] 31 Let
all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil
speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: 32 And be ye
kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even
as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
[Romans 13:13-14 KJV] 13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day;
not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and
wantonness, not in strife and envying. 14 But put ye on the Lord
Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to [fulfil]
the lusts [thereof].
[Galatians 6:7-8 KJV] 7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for
whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. 8 For he that
soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he
that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life
everlasting.
