…work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. Phil 2:12b (kjv)
This is an exortation not only to Christians but non-Christians as well.
It is the DUTY or choice of everyone to be concerned about their own salvation or with whom they will spend eternity.
Eternity is a very long time.
… It is a duty because it is our own personal interest that is at stake.
No one else has, or can have, as much interest in our (own) salvation as we have (Barnes commentary).
Considering the difficulty of the work, and the danger of miscarriage (hell):
If you do not watch, pray and continually depend on God, your enemy (satan) will surprise you, and your light and life will become extinct; (Clarke commentary).
There are only two choices in life: God or satan.
And every day, everyone is choosing one or the other (Josh 24:14, Deut 11:26-28). 🤔
So, choose carefully. There is a lot more at stake than most people know.
