You are the apple of God's eye and have been given the power and the weapons to use proactively, stopping the enemy's attempts to destroy you. Working out your salvation entails doing what Jesus commanded you to do. Your salvation isn't just for your eternal destination; it is also to save yourself from the attempts of your adversary the devil to defeat you here in this life. You must continually put on the armour of God and use your weapons of warfare daily. If you get nothing into your heart and head, than just this; that in God's eyes you are the most valued and precious person and that His love, mercy, amazing grace and His forgiveness are all yours to cherish all the days of your life. If you can truly understand and believe this fact, then you will be able to experience heaven on earth and victory over the power of sin. God's love is awesome. You can be set free.
