The Christian life is more in & out than up & downFinding joy in Jesus
Philippians 2:12-18 (ESV)
12Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, 13for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure. 14Do all things without grumbling or disputing, 15that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, 16holding fast to the word of life so that in the day of Christ I may be proud that I did not run in vain or labor in vain. 17Even if I am to be poured out as a drink offering upon the sacrificial offer-ing of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all. 18Like-wise you also should be glad and rejoice with me.
The Grace Gift of Salvation Comes with Responsibility:
1.WHAT:
b.It pleases God to give us His divine desire & power
2.HOW:
b. Crooked/twisted VS light bearers/Word holders
3.WHO:
b.Do you need a ‘spotter’? Will you be a ‘spotter’?
