WORK OUT YOUR OWN SALVATION WITH FEAR & TREMBLING.
What make us SAVE ( a born again) is the deposition of the very righteous nature of God; Christ; the Holy spirit in the inside of our being.
God therefore first blesses the inside of our being so that it Will break through like seed to the outside.
Philemon 6 confirmed this by telling us that "there every good thing in us in Christ"
Apostle Paul reinforced this thought in (Php 2:12-13). He says, "WORK OUT your own salvation with FEAR & TREMBLING; for it is God who worketh in you both to will and to work, for his good pleasure.
My problem here is that, most ministers mistake what Paul says as a some sort of secondary approach to salvation. Paul says "WORK OUT" he didn't say "WORK FOR"
What Apostle Paul means was that, salvation is being worked inside of us until it works out of us. Salvation is a breakthrough Truth. Though it begins on the inside as the seed of Christ, it grows until it breaks out so all will see the manifestation of Christ and His glory expressed through the believer.
We were not made just to contain Christ but to express Him in all that we do. So the salvation that has begun in you will break through the surface, And the outside will be affected by the internal work of Grace.
And at the same time, it is the work of the Holy Spirit to bring the image on the inside of you to the out, It not in you power to do so. Salvation therefore, is not of man but of God.
Yours is to be conscious of the very righteous nature of God; Christ in you, and as you continue, the seed (Christ) in you will burst out:
And we, who with unveiled faces behold as in a mirror the Lord's glory are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which come from the lord, who is the spirit. ( 2Cor 3:18)
As we behold, we are being transformed. So behold!
