Re:Verse passage – Philippians 2:12-18 (day six)
Then God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and multiply. Fill the earth and govern it. Reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, and all the animals that scurry along the ground.” Genesis 1:28
Work hard to show the results of your salvation,… Philippians 2:12
Be fruitful. Multiply. Have dominion. Work. From the very beginning God set it in the heart of humanity, His image bearers, to do good work. Good work has always been tied to fruitfulness, and fruitfulness to God’s good pleasure and glory. Paul wasn’t commanding the Philippians to begin something new, but to return to something old.
For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. Ephesians 2:10
Do some good work.
Your words are always so clear for me , Danny. God has gifted you with the ability of speaking the scripture in a manner that His instruction is made plainly clear in how our lives can be productive and please the Father’s heart. I’m so grateful that you share your gift.
