This is a verse I keep thinking of but could never remember where it was:
…work our your salvation with fear and trembling; for it is God who is at work in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure. -Philippians 2:12-13
To me "work out your salvation" is a reminder that we should be thinking about our faith and what it means to be saved, to self-examine, and to question our own assumptions and habits in the light of God’s teachings, rather than just being sheep following the people around us. My confession of the day though is that it’s the following verse that is more appropriate for me today:
Do all things without grumbling or disputing; so that you will prove yourselves to be blameless and innocent.. -Philippians 2:14
