Philippians 2:12 (NKJV) 12 Therefore, my beloved, as you 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;<\/p>\n

This verse is a good reminder for all of us from time to time.<\/p>\n

We are a child of God because we made a conscious choice<\/i> to do so.<\/p>\n

We have each chosen<\/i> to walk with God. We have chosen<\/i> to be saved.<\/p>\n

And salvation comes to us through that choice.<\/p>\n

But then what? What do we do with our lives after making the choice to become a follower of Christ?<\/p>\n

Do we simply move on as though it never happened?<\/p>\n

Absolutely not! That step that we took to be saved was just the beginning of what is meant to be a lifelong journey to our eternal dwelling place with our Father.<\/p>\n

We should make the most of this sojourn to present ourselves before Him that He will say to us, \u201cwell done, my good and faithful child.\u201d<\/p>\n

Going forward, we must walk it out. We must take deliberate steps to learn and grow as a believer.<\/p>\n

We must think of it like a student who is working toward a goal, or an athlete who is training for a trophy. Neither of these can reach their goals if they aren\u2019t diligent and steadfast in their endeavors.<\/p>\n

As it is with us.<\/p>\n

No, salvation is never about works. But our relationship with God is only as strong as we make it.<\/p>\n

So, let us understand the seriousness of this walk we call Christianity, and run the race as though we are running for the prize.<\/p>\n

Because we are. And that prize is the crown of life.<\/p>\n

Amen<\/p>\n
