Work out your Salvation [February 11,2023 ]

Daily Word 🇬🇭

Work out your Salvation
Psalm 91:1
He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High, shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

Dwelling in the secret place of the most High means dwelling or staying in the presence of God.

Psalm 100:4 says
Enter His gates with Thanksgiving and His courts with praise.

That is how we can get into the presence of God. However, it is important to note that to be able to dwell constantly in the presence of God you need to accept the gift of salvation.

Then, the Holy Spirit dwells in your heart and the presence of God is with you always. You activate it with praise and thanksgiving whenever you want to seek God’s face concerning your needs, spiritual, physical and emotional.

Philippians 2:12
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

Some translations replace the phrase ” work out your own salvation with fear and trembling’ ” work out your own deliverance with fear and trembling”.

I believe the Apostle Paul wanted christians to be deeply concerned about maintaining their relationship with God.

1 Peter 5:8 says
Be sober, vigilant because your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour.

The evil one and his host of angels are working 24/7 to snatch us from the kingdom of God so we have to be determined to maintain our salvation.

We can do so by:
– Praying for grace and strength to obey all the commands of God-
– stay away from anything with evil connotations or implications
– Serve the Lord with gladness by preaching the message of salvation wherever we go
God be with you

How can we apply the word to our lives?
1. Make sure you are saved

Prayer
Think about the words of this song

Now you have the chance
Don’t let it slip by you
You must take Him by the hand
Never, never, let Him go
You must be saved.

You must be saved
You must be saved
You must be saved
You know it, you know it
You must be saved
You must be saved
You’ve got to
You must be saved…
Amen
