Interpretation: As the Philippians have always been obedient (not just when Paul is with them, but even more so when he is not), Paul wishes that they be responsible for their own spiritual growth. The attitude which they should adopt for this is that of reverence and respect, remembering that God is also working in you, doing so for the purpose of his good pleasure. Application: (i) Appreciating our salvation and making sure we put enough effort (with the right attitude) into furthering our own spiritual growth. In order words, we do need to take action and be responsible. (ii) Trusting that God is working with us, that he is indeed active. Spiritiual growth requires both the inner working of God and our own effort in working out our own salvation.
