Work Out Your Own Salvation

Philippians 2:12-13 (ESV)

12 Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, 13 for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure.

Today the garden of Eden appears in the heart of every believer in Jesus. This happens when we are reborn in the Spirit of God. Like Adam, we receive the breath of life that allows us to choose between the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Until we received the Holy Spirit we had no choice because we were bound in the chains of sin and death. 

It is only in the presence of the Holy Spirit that we can choose to eat from the tree of life. The Holy Spirit will lead in the way we should go. Choose this day and every day whom you will trust and follow. If we persevere in our walk with Him, we will join Christ on His throne and eat from the tree of life.
