Work Out your Own Salvation

<< < (4/4)

EKnight:
Your underlined definitions of "fear" have shed a whole new light (for me) on the term "fear God"

Thanks Kat.

Phil3:10:
To All,
Fear and respect are both earned. We all should fear GOD, but I choose to think that my respect, love and reverence for the CREATOR OF EVERYTHING is most important. As Kat said, and the Scriptures point out so vividly this is the beginning of knowledge and wisdom. I am 67 years old and I am so sorry that real wisdom did not come to me until after my 45th year. The only consolation is that it is GOD who works in me both to will and do HIS good pleasure.

I can't remember the exact email i got this from but i believe it fits here.

COMMENT: "ALL is of God" (II Cor. 5:18, Rom. 11:36, etc.).  Salvation is incorporated into the process of living.  We are made to live.  We have to live.  We HAVE to make decisions and choices in life:  it is forced upon us by the very nature of things.  But although we are made to live out our individual experiences of life, behind it all is God.  We "work out our own salvation with fear and trembling," not because we have the ability to do so independent of God, but rather because of what we are told in the next verse:  "For [for means BECAUSE--here is the REASON we work out our own salvation]...For it is GOD which workies in you BOTH TO WILL AND TO DO of His good pleasure" (Phil. 2:13).
     
    God be with you,

We live because we Believe.
Mat 26:39  And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.
 For it is GOD which workies in you BOTH TO WILL AND TO DO of His good pleasure"
