How to Work Out the Salvation that is in you

“What I’m getting at, friends, is that you should simply keep on doing what you’ve done from the beginning. When I was living among you, you lived in responsive obedience. Now that I’m separated from you, keep it up. Better yet, redouble your efforts. Be energetic in your life of salvation, reverent and sensitive before God. That energy is God’s energy, an energy deep within you, God himself willing and working at what will give him the most pleasure.” (Philippians‬ ‭2:12-13‬ ‭MSG‬‬)

I love the translation above that really explains what the apostle Paul meant by “work out your own salvation with fear and trembling”.

He is not asking us to complete our salvation by works as if we are not already saved.

Instead, he was encouraging the church to let the fruit of salvation be made visible to all. Paul was writing to saved believers who were walking in faith when he was physically present with them.

When Paul wrote this letter to the Philippian believers, he was writing from prison. So he was encouraging them to continue walking faithfully, and even more so when he was not physically present.

This walking in faith is not to please or impress Paul or any man, but as worship towards God.

Then Paul proceeded to explain how a believer can continue to walk in faith and obedience towards God.

It is not by willpower or trying to impress men when they are looking. The Holy Spirit inside you supplies both the willingness and ability to do what is pleasing to God.

This is a manifestation of His manifold grace, so rely on the Holy Spirit and be led by Him. Children of God are led by Him to do what is pleasing to God.

There is no point being saved and keeping the fruit of your salvation dormant inside your spirit. Work out the salvation that you have in your spirit. Let it shine forth in your soul and body so that the world may see, and give glory to God who is in Heaven!

Every day just pray, asking, “Holy Spirit, what shall we do today?” He will lead you by His peace first and by confirmation from others and things around you if you need further assurance. This happens so you can cheerfully do what God wants you to do!

The devil deceives by making us reliant on the flesh, which is walking by sight. He wants us depending on the five senses, our emotions, and our thoughts. Learn all his tricks so you can recognize it instantly when he tries to use it on you.

Open note to the world:

In this dark time, we who are of faith are not disheartened. In fact, we are looking up and excited because it means our redemption draws near.

“Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.”” (Luke‬ ‭21:28‬ ‭NKJV‬‬)

One day, possibly in the near future, all Christians who believe and confess Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, as well as young children, will vanish simultaneously from the world.

The world will search and not find them. Do not be alarmed because it means the Jesus has come back to receive His church in the air.

“For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.” (I Thessalonians‬ ‭4:16-17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬)

If you miss that event which we term “the Rapture”, you will have to wait seven years before you get to see Jesus again.

The seven years period called “the Tribulation” will be a terrible time for the world. A dictator the Bible calls “the Antichrist” and “the Beast” will rule the world with harsh marshal laws and persecution of Jews and Christians.

Cataclysmic disasters and plagues will befall this earth on an unprecedented scale. Most importantly, do not receive “the mark of the beast” on your right hand or forehead, if not you will be doomed to suffer in the lake of fire (a permanent version of Hell) forever. You will know what the mark is after it is introduced after the Rapture happens.

“Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand, he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.”” (Revelation‬ ‭14:9-11‬ ‭NKJV‬‬)

When all these things happen, you will know that the words in this note are true. At that time, believe and confess Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, and hold on to that confession no matter how tough things get. We will see you again after the seven years, when Jesus returns with us to save Israel from destruction!

God loves you so much that He sent His only begotten Son to die on a cross as an atoning sacrifice for your sins. Our God is a righteous and holy judge who has to punish sins, but He does not want you to be punished. Jesus is the only way you can be saved.

Do you want to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, and receive the precious gift of eternal life? I’m inviting you to say this prayer: https://www.miltongoh.net/miltons-blog/salvation

Takeaways from Proverbs 19
(Day 12 of #ProverbsHesedWisdomChallenge to read a chapter from the Book of Proverbs each day which corresponds to the date as suggested by Pastor Joseph Prince in 7 Jan 2018’s Vision Sunday sermon -
http://www.miltongoh.net/miltons-blog/the-year-of-hesed-wisdom-vision-sunday-new-creation-church-theme-of-the-year-2018 ):

As Pastor Prince taught before, the devil likes pressure you and rush you to make bad decisions.
However, that is not God’s style. God leads by peace in your heart and doesn’t force you to do things against your will.

“Also it is not good for a person to be without knowledge, And he who hurries with his feet [acting impulsively and proceeding without caution or analyzing the consequences] sins (misses the mark).” ‭‭(PROVERBS‬ ‭19:2‬ ‭AMP‬‬)

We see this often in movies: When something bad happens to the main character, he or she screams and shouts at God asking why that happened to him or her.
People are just so quick to blame God and they forget that the devil exists.
Anything bad is not caused by God. It’s caused by the sinfulness and foolishness of man who give in to the devil’s temptations.

“The foolishness of man undermines his way [ruining whatever he undertakes]; Then his heart is resentful and rages against the LORD [for, being a fool, he blames the LORD instead of himself].” ‭‭(PROVERBS‬ ‭19:3‬ ‭AMP‬‬)

The people of the world are quick to curry favor with the rich and famous while harboring the ulterior motive to get favors and benefits from the friendship.
When a person has no visible benefit to them, they treat him or her like they are insignificant.
We should be treating others with love and respect like how God’s word teaches, and not by whether we can make use of a person.

“Wealth makes many friends, But a poor man is separated from his friend.
Many will seek the favor of a generous and noble man, And everyone is a friend to him who gives gifts. All the brothers of a poor man hate him; How much more do his friends abandon him! He pursues them with words, but they are gone.” ‭‭(PROVERBS‬ ‭19:4, 6-7‬ ‭AMP)

Prioritize receiving God’s wisdom every day - all the blessings of God will pursue you.
Two great ways to keep understanding is to listen to Jesus-centered sermons and meditate on God’s word as you go about your day.

“He who gains wisdom and good sense loves (preserves) his own soul; He who keeps understanding will find good and prosper.” (PROVERBS‬ ‭19:8‬ ‭AMP‬‬)

Luxury is more suitable for people with wisdom, who God can entrust with more money without them being consumed and destroyed in the process.
If we want an increase in our finances, focus on growing in God’s wisdom first.
He who is faithful with little is also faithful with much.

“Luxury is not fitting for a fool; Much less for a slave to rule over princes.” ‭‭(PROVERBS‬ ‭19:10‬ AMP)

A big-hearted, forgiving person has a glory about him or her.

“Good sense and discretion make a man slow to anger, And it is his honor and glory to overlook a transgression or an offense [without seeking revenge and harboring resentment].” ‭‭(PROVERBS‬ ‭19:11‬ ‭AMP‬‬)

It is a terrible thing to be under God’s curse and judgement. Under the Law, because no one can keep the Law, man is always doomed to be cursed.
However it is a wonderful blessing to be under God’s grace.
Believers can enjoy a peaceful, happy life when they live by grace.
Pastor Prince taught before that the devil goes about like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour, and one of his tactics is to imitate Jesus (the Lion of Judah) and make us think that God is angry with us.

“The king’s wrath terrifies like the roaring of a lion, But his favor is as [refreshing and nourishing as] dew on the grass.” ‭‭(PROVERBS‬ ‭19:12‬ ‭AMP)

Material wealth is a lower blessing than a God-chosen spouse for you.
Always treasure your spouse.

“House and wealth are the inheritance from fathers, But a wise, understanding, and sensible wife is [a gift and blessing] from the LORD.” ‭‭(PROVERBS‬ ‭19:14‬ ‭AMP‬)

We should bless people in need out of an overflow of the love and compassion that we have received from God, especially when we spend a lot of time in His word.
However God Himself promises to reward whoever blesses the poor.

“He who is gracious and lends a hand to the poor lends to the LORD, And the LORD will repay him for his good deed.” (PROVERBS‬ ‭19:17‬ ‭AMP‬‬)

When disciplining your child, especially when caning, don’t do it to vent your own anger.
It should be done out of love, just enough severity to correct the misbehavior so that he or she won’t suffer worse consequences in the future.
Let a person with a bad temper bear the full responsibility and consequences for his or her mistakes, so that he or she will truly learn.

“Discipline and teach your son while there is hope, And do not [indulge your anger or resentment by imposing inappropriate punishment nor] desire his destruction. A man of great anger will bear the penalty [for his quick temper and lack of self-control]; For if you rescue him [and do not let him learn from the consequences of his action], you will only have to rescue him over and over again.” ‭‭(PROVERBS‬ ‭19:18-19‬ ‭AMP‬‬)

A teachable person can receive God’s wisdom.
Be willing to admit and learn from mistakes.

“Listen to counsel, receive instruction, and accept correction, That you may be wise in the time to come.” (PROVERBS‬ ‭19:20‬ ‭AMP‬)

Trust the Lord, you don’t have worry about your future. God has it all prepared and planned out for you.

“Many plans are in a man’s mind, But it is the LORD’S purpose for him that will stand (be carried out).” (PROVERBS‬ ‭19:21‬ ‭AMP‬)

Praise and worship is so powerful. It can usher in life, peace and fend off evil.

“The fear of the LORD leads to life, So that one may sleep satisfied, untouched by evil.” (PROVERBS‬ ‭19:23‬ ‭AMP‬‬)
