TFPC EM NEWSLETTER - June 10, 2020

Make Salvation Work

Today is June 10, 2020

Welcome to your mid-week!

Christianity is never a call to comfort or idleness or passivity. No. Christians are always called to do good work; to fulfill the purpose of God; to make salvation work in their lives. 

But, Apostle Paul gives us a couple of very important guidelines in Philippians 2:12-18 in the actions we may feel convicted to do. One, our mindset needs to be that of Christ. Our mindset needs to be sobering reverential. And, two, our actions need to be based firmly in the word. We cannot act in a way that is contradictory to the commands of God.

If done correctly, we will be tempted to complain because it will go against our sinful nature, but, ultimately, the work God convicts us to do is be for our benefit. Apostle Paul had God's conviction, made salvation work in his life and, despite being in jail, felt joy. He actually mentions the word 'joy' four times in verses 17-18.

And that is our challenge.

God's protection and blessing over you as you make salvation work in your life and I look forward to worshiping with you this Sunday.
