Text: Philippians 2:12-13
“So then” – imitate Christ’s example
“As you have always obeyed” – persistent, continuous
“Not as in my presence only…in my absence” – willing, not forced
“Work out your own” – individual responsibility
“Salvation” – not about life on earth, but eternal life
“With fear and trembling” – knowing there is punishment for not obeying
“Work for His good pleasure” – do the works of God
