“Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfil his good purpose. Do everything without grumbling or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, “children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation.” Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky as you hold firmly to the word of life.” Philippians 2:12-16 (NIV)
Work out your salvation: 2 Timothy 2:20-21 (NIV)
We should continue to obey all to which God is working in you, even to will and act upon all the good purposes He planned for you to fulfil. And work out those things God is doing inside of you with fear and trembling, in the sense, with much reverence prioritising His will and desires over your own. After getting saved, God has kept you on earth to do His will and purposes, not to just sit and have a lazy unproductive life, which is useless to anyone for that matter. We are given this privilege to serve the Lord and help the gospel to reach the world, so let us do it willingly.
Do everything without grumbling or arguing: 2 Timothy 2:23-26 (NIV)
This is very important; while serving for the Lord, we should not be offended by anything the way people react to our life style and preaching the gospel. The devil comes through people only: so be careful not to react the way they do, instead cover everyone with more love and compassion. Give control to the Holy Spirit completely; so that nothing you say or do go wrong and God gets all the praise, honour and glory. None of us but all of Him should be your attitude.
Shine like stars in the sky: 2 Corinthians 3:13-18 (NIV)
You will shine like stars for God, when you hold on to the Word of life, in this crooked and perverse generation that the world developed. Jesus said His words are spirit and they are life. Your spiritual life needs spiritual words as food to live holy and operate powerfully. If you are still reading the Old Covenant, a veil is still covering your face, then you have no clarity and no power available there. So we should operate on the word of Christ and His Commandments to get power and shine like stars in the sky. Daniel 12:1-3(NIV)
