Apologetics Forum: Ask questions about Christianity/Debate doctrinesOnce Saved always Saved Clarified by Jesus Himself!Your not stressing your point in any of these verses or your interpretation
Work out your own salvation does not mean that you should work for salvation in order to obtain it{belittling Christ} The Greek phrase"work out" denotes the expression, manifestation, or actualization of something one already possesses. The philippians are to "work out" the salvation God has already wrought in them{verse 13}, carrying it to its logical conclusion. God has granted them salvation not just for their own profit, but for the good of others as well. If they work out and manifest the new life divinely worked in them, they will live lives worthy of the gospel{1:27}, in harmony with each other{verse 2}, seeking the progress of the Gospel. They will also regard one another as more important than themselves{verse 3}, be concerned with the needs of their fellows{verse 4}, and make the appropriate sacrifices in obedience to God, as Jesus did. In doing all this they will work out or express the new life they have through Christ. You must go into deeper understanding within these verses and not just read in it its plain context, that is a failure many make in doing so. God Bless! |
