Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure. Philippians 2:12-13. Regeneration is birth, sanctification is growth. ‘Sanctify” means to set apart to God, for His use. To work out your own salvation is recognizing that God is at work in the arena of your will and actions. Fear and trembling is simply awe and reverence rather than panic and alarm. How often do you really set yourself apart to God, walking in His Obedience in an effort of working out your own salvation?
