But it is up to us if we'll listen to His Spirit, follow where He leads, or ignore Him. We get to decide if we'll submit to His teachings or not.
The command to "work out your salvation" in verse 12 underscores the importance of putting our faith into action. It calls us to translate our beliefs into actions and attitudes that reflect God's love and grace. By obeying His commands and striving to please Him, we actively participate in His redemptive work in the world.
Through our relationship with God, we are no longer slaves to sin or to this world. He empowers us with new dreams and desires, thoughts and power, and a heart of compassion. This transformation enables us to embrace a life guided by God's will and purpose.
When you feel a sudden urge to bless, encourage, or serve others, it may very well be the Spirit of God prompting you to act in alignment with His will. Embracing these impulses with openness and obedience can lead to fulfilling experiences and opportunities to spread God's message of love and compassion.
