IntroductionIntroduction• Philippians 1:27 — That verse reminds us that there is a “gospel walk.”
• Romans 1:16 — The “gospel walk” is living in such a way that activates and enjoys the gospel’s power to rescue from sin’s ongoing influence.
• Thus, a tension appears in sanctification, between my part (letting my manner of life be worthy) and God’s part (accomplishing the power of the gospel within me).

“Gospel Vigilance”“Gospel Vigilance”• “God intends that part of our
experience of sanctification be the conscious, willed opposition to specific sins in our lives.”
• This passage call us to a “gospel vigilance”—what Peter O’Brien calls a “continuous, sustained, strenuous effort” against besetting sin.

Philippians 2:12-13Philippians 2:12-132. God’s part in sanctification (v.
13)
• Lit. “God is the One working in you both the willing and the working for the sake of His good pleasure.”
• Just as a shadow moves integrally with its object, so our transformed willing and transformed working are the shadow of the willing and working of God Himself.

Application: A ReviewApplication: A Review• In its context within this book, these two verses come at an appropriate time. Paul has given several commands, both expressed and implied, many of which are rather tough to obey and really go against the grain of how we are wired. To hope for “naturally arising” victory when we are tempted in these areas is unwise. Instead, Paul here encourages us, “Work out your salvation in those areas. Engage with continuous, sustained, strenuous effort to see the fruits of Jesus Christ characterize these areas.”

& Conclusion• With our understanding of this
passage both compelling us to fight sin and convincing us that it will be effective, we have great reason to “chose joy” in the long battle of sanctification, even as is the theme of this letter.
