Philippians 2:12 and 2:14-16

Philippian 2:12

"Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed - not only in my presence, but NOW MUCH MORE IN MY ABSENCE - continue to WORK OUT YOUR SALVATION with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose."

Philippian 2:14-16

"Do everything WITHOUT COMPLAINING or ARGUING, so that you become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe as you hold out the world of life - in order that I may boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor for nothing."

New words
-Tremble (v): shake involuntarily, typically as a result of anxiety, excitement, or frailty (COUNT NOUN) = the condition of  being weak and delicate.Ex. You are trembling when you see your own frailties

"You have always obeyed - not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence - continue to work out your salvation."
-> Obeying is a must to change. Obedience is like diamond for your salvation. The BAD YOU always try to steal your best friend "Obedience". Be aware when you fight the battle in your mind, when you forget His presence, read out loud the bible verse you need to fight back your bad you. Do the RIGHT thing is hard at the beginning, but it is much more fruitful than doing the EASY thing



"Do everything without complaining or aguing"
-> To change is doing all you can at the best you can

-----------

Obedience + Do everything - (Complaining + Arguing) is God's formula to change.
