Treasury of Scripture Knowledge - Php 2:12 "work out your salvation"

I was reminded once again this week of a valuable resource freely available on the web for Bible study.  The Treasury of Scripture Knowledge provides a huge number of cross references for the majority (if not all?) the verses in the Bible.

With Sunday night free, the kids, Mindy and I had a chance to read through the Scripture for this coming Sunday's lesson (Philippians 2:12-18).  I wanted us to dig in a bit deeper into what Paul (inspired by the Holy Spirit) meant when he wrote that we are to "work out our own salvation" (Php 2:12).  Through using a resource very similar to this one we were able to find some cross references to study.

TSK is in the public domain, so I've copied it here so you can easily hover over the verses and have the Scripture pop up if you are viewing this from the Blog site.

Philippians 3:13 Philippians 3:14 Proverbs 10:16 ; 13:4 Matthew 11:12 Matthew 11:29 ; Luke 13:23 Luke 13:24 ; John 6:27-29
Romans 2:7 ; 1 Corinthians 9:24-27 ; 15:58 Galatians 6:7-9 ; 1 Thessalonians 1:3 ; Hebrews 4:11 ; Hebrews 6:10 Hebrews 6:11
Hebrews 12:1 ; 2 Peter 1:5-10 ; 3:18

It made for some great evening family Bible study and will prove helpful in my preparation for this Sunday!

Part of our job as teachers is to inspire our students to learn to love and study the Scriptures for themselves.  This free resource can be a great way to equip our students to do just this.
