AMPLIFIED 2015 | Philippians 2:12 ¶ So then, my dear ones, just as you have always obeyed [my instructions with enthusiasm], not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence, continue to work out your salvation [that is, cultivate it, bring it to full effect, actively pursue spiritual maturity] with awe-inspired fear and trembling [using serious caution and critical self-evaluation to avoid anything that might offend God or discredit the name of Christ]. |
Bible Question (short): Scriptures about striving to grow? |
Question (full): I am looking for scriptures that reflect our active and creative roll in growing in faith. I find that I grow more quickly by seeking, asking questions, and pursuing Jesus. Obviously, this is only part of the picture -- for EVERYTHING depends upon God's grace. But I would love to hear from people -- scriptures that speak to "spurring one another on to love and good deeds." (Hebrews 10:24) One that I've been thinking about it Phil 2:12-13. I like the sense of working out one's salvation -- especially since it is made clear that it is God doing the work in us. Beautiful. Yours, JRM |
