Work Out Your Own Salvation - (What Does This Really Mean?)

Contributed by Bruce Hadley on Aug 3, 2021

We are told to work out our own salvation with fear and trembling. However, what do I have to do to work out my salvation? Are there certain steps I must take? Are there some specific criteria for me to work out my own salvation? These are all good questions.

Phil 2:12-13: 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. 13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. One day I was at the gym, and this man ...read more
