Philippians 2:12
King James Version
12 Wherefore, my beloved,
as ye have always obeyed,
not as in my presence only,
but now much more in my absence,
work out your own salvation
with fear and trembling.
What is "due" diligence?
In spiritual terms it's very different.
It's not what the world programmed us to do.
It's what the WORD of GOD wants us to do.
To believe in JESUS.
To love GOD, and others.
To listen to the HOLY SPIRIT.
To live by the Bible.
That's what due diligence is.
As you shall see from these verses:
Exodus 15:26
King James Version
26 And said,
If thou wilt diligently hearken
to the voice of the Lord thy God,
and wilt do that which is right in his sight,
and wilt give ear to his commandments,
and keep all his statutes,
I will put none of these diseases upon thee,
which I have brought upon the Egyptians:
for I am the Lord that healeth thee.
