1129. Live through grace and walk in godliness

Live through grace and walk in godliness - Philippians 2:1-4, Philippians 2:12-13

Bullinger : Grace

a kind, affectionate, pleasing nature and inclining disposition, either in a person or thing. Objectively it denotes, personal gracefulness, a pleasing work, beauty of speech, etc. Subjectively it means an inclining towards, courteous or gracious disposition, friendly willingness; on the part of the giver of a favor, kindness, favor; on the part of the receiver, thanks.

The word denotes specifically, God's grace and favor manifested towards mankind or to any individual, which, as a free act is no more hindered by sin than it is conditional upon works. It is the grace of God , because it denotes the relation assumed and maintained by God towards sinful man. It is joined with Christ, because It is manifested I and through Him.

Philippians 2:1-4

2 If there be therefore any consolation (calling, summons) in (resting within) Christ, if any comfort (stimulating force) of love, if any fellowship (Participating, partaking, sharing, communion) of the Spirit (spiritual feelings or desires), if any bowels (inward parts) and mercies (pity or compassion),

2 Fulfil (Complete) ye my joy, that (in order that) ye be likeminded (think the same), having the same love, being of one accord (unity of life and love), of one mind (minding the same thing).

3 Let nothing (not one thing) be done through (according to) strife (works for ambition) or vainglory (empty as to glory); but in lowliness (humility) of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.

4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.

Philippians 2:12-13

12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out (effect or achieve) your own salvation (safety or preservation) with fear and trembling.

13 For it is God which worketh (to form by labor) in you both to will (the emotional will to do) and to (work) do of his good pleasure (desire).
