House Church Discussion Questions

1. Read Philippians 2:12-13 again.  There is a significant difference between “working for your salvation” and “working out your salvation.”  Why is this an important distinction to make?
2. What does it mean to have a long view of obedience?
3. How does living with an awareness of the presence of God compel you to live a life of holiness?
4. Paul writes these verses in the plural form within these verses.  Instead of an individual working out their salvation by themselves, his command is “all of you work out your salvation.”  How does this change the way we should think about salvation?
