Philippians 2:13 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

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!
