Philippians 2:13
_ _ For — encouragement to work: “For it is God who worketh in you,” always present with you, though I be absent. It is not said, “Work out your own salvation, though it is God,” etc., but, “because it is God who,” etc. The will, and the power to work, being first installments of His grace, encourage us to make full proof of, and carry out to the end, the “salvation” which He has first “worked,” and is still “working in” us, enabling us to “work it out.” “Our will does nothing thereunto without grace; but grace is inactive without our will” [St. Bernard]. Man is, in different senses, entirely active, and entirely passive: God producing all, and we acting all. What He produced is our own acts. It is not that God does some, and we the rest. God does all, and we do all. God is the only proper author, we the only proper actors. Thus the same things in Scripture are represented as from God, and from us. God makes a new heart, and we are commanded to make us a new heart; not merely because we must use the means in order to the effect, but the effect itself is our act and our duty (Ezekiel 11:19; Ezekiel 18:31; Ezekiel 36:26) [Edwards].
_ _ worketh — rather as Greek, “worketh effectually.” We cannot of ourselves embrace the Gospel of grace: “the will” (Psalms 110:3; 2 Corinthians 3:5) comes solely of God’s gift to whom He will (John 6:44, John 6:65); so also the power “to do” (rather, “to work effectually,” as the Greek is the same as that for “worketh in”), that is, effectual perseverance to the end, is wholly of God’s gift (Philippians 1:6; Hebrews 13:21).
_ _ of his good pleasure — rather as Greek, “FOR His good pleasure”; in order to carry out His sovereign gracious purpose towards you (Ephesians 1:5, Ephesians 1:9). |
Philippians 2:13
For it is God — God alone, who is with you, though I am not. That worketh in you according to his good pleasure — Not for any merit of yours. Yet his influences are not to supersede, but to encourage, our own efforts. Work out your own salvation — Here is our duty. For it is God that worketh in you — Here is our encouragement. And O, what a glorious encouragement, to have the arm of Omnipotence stretched out for our support and our succour! |
Philippians 2:13
(5) For it is God which worketh in you both (n) to will and to do of [his] good pleasure.
(5) A most sure and grounded argument against pride, because we have nothing in us praiseworthy, but it comes from the free gift of God, and is outside of us, for we do not have ability or power, so much as to will well (much less to do well), except only by the free mercy of God.
(n) The reason why we are not statues; and yet we do not will well by nature, but only because God has made of our wicked will a good will. |
