Time to Work Out

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 2:12-13



Once we decide to get serious about becoming like Christ, we must begin to act in new ways. Wel need to let go of some old routines, develop some new habits, and intentionally change the way we think.


The verse above shows the two parts of spiritual growth: "work out" and "work in."The "work out" is our responsibility and the "work in" is God's role. Spiritual growth is a collaborative effort between us and the Holy Spirit. God's Spirit works with us, not just in us.

We are all training for the marathon to the foot of the Cross. Work out the details.

Peace

Tim
