Are we saved by grace alone? See Rom 3:28; Eph 2:8-9. Matt 10:22. "The word 'saved' is used here, not in the sense of the salvation of the soul but of deliverance out of persecution" (p. 1008, New Scofield Reference Bible, 1967, Oxford). |

You cited Philippians 2:13... The Believer's Study Bible comments about this verse, "2:12-13: These verses must be read together for a proper understanding. "Work out your own salvation" means to "work out," not "work for." A "works salvation" is not being taught. The idea is to progress to the finish or completion in spiritual growth and maturity. This process is what the Bible calls "sanctification." It should be noted that v. 12 makes it clear we are to be active, not passive, in this process. However, though we are active, we are not alone. Verse 13 reminds us again that the entire salvation process is the work of a sovereign God and the result of His grace. "For it is God who works in you" is the ultimate ground and basis for our salvation." |
