Joy in Holy Living for God

Philippians 2:12-18

The focus turns to

  1. Community - Church
  2. Consecration - Individual

Take Responsiblity for your spiritual life/growth

The word WORK OUT (katergazesthe) means to work on to the finish, to completion, to perfection. It always means to complete the effort and the work begun; to accomplish it perfectly; to bring it to completion.

Not justification, but sanctification / consecration.

An attitude of fear and trembling is an attitude of humility and submission in God’s presence.

Act in Concert with the Working of God in your life

The word worketh (energon) means to energize. God arouses, stirs, and energizes the heart of the believer to do God’s will.

Talk Differently

Refuse to complain, gossip, or cause unnecessary division

The word Murmuring (goggusmon) means to mutter, murmur, grumble, and complain.

It is the kind of criticism, dissatisfaction, fault-finding and gossip that goes on within small groups or cliques.

The word Disputings (dialogismon) means arguments, outward and vocal questionings, and expressions of doubt.

Live Differently

Walk in integrity and purity so you can be a light to those in darkness

Believers are to work at being Blameless (amempto): free from fault and censure; to be faultless; above reproach and rebuke.

Believers are to work at being Harmless (akeraioi): unmixed and unadulterated.

Believers are to work at being Without Rebuke (amoma): without blemish, spot, or defect.
