Work Out Your Salvation With Fear And Trembling

Theme for the Week: JUSTIFIED THROUGH GRACE

Reading: Philippians 2:12-13
_______________________

Philippians 2:12 (KJV)
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.

When you come to Christ, believing in His death and resurrection, salvation is sure. However, you need to work out your salvation with fear and trembling.

To work out your salvation is to put your believe into practice. Salvation is for all men, but you must decide as an individual to receive it of God.
God does the initial preparation in your by putting the desire to be saved in you and creation every opportunity for you to make the decision.

Thus, as you have chosen to follow Christ, put into practice what you have believed, keeping in mind that you have been justified through the grace of God in Christ Jesus.
Stay blessed. Shalom.

Let's Pray:
Abba Father, we thank You for Your salvation plan for all mankind, including ourselves. We pray that as You have justified us through grace, work in us both to will and to do of Your good pleasure through Christ Jesus. Amen.

The Lord's Patience Means Salvation

Theme for the Week: JUSTIFIED THROUGH GRACE

Reading: 2 Peter 3:3-9
_______________________

2 Peter 3:9 (KJV)
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

Do you know that the Lord's return will be futile to us now if we fail to believe in His death and resurrection? The return of Jesus Christ is not as important as believing in His death and resurrection.

Many wonder why He has still not return, but fail to understand that our days are not as God's own. He is patient in His coming, because many are out there who have not believed Christ's death and resurrection.

Do you believe in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ? If yes, happy are you to live to see His return or to sleep and await His return. If no, then God's salvation awaits you now that you have breath, but for some time; because even if Christ do not return in your days, you will die and face Him at the judgement seat. Selah.

Let's Pray:
Eternal Father, be glorified. Thank You for being patient with us and drawing us to Your salvation. Let everyone under our voices see these waiting period as a grace period of salvation, and draw them to the saving grace in Christ Jesus. Amen.
