2 | for by grace you have been saved through | Heb 10:26 | pcdarcan | 136198 | ||
Here's the skinny of it - I know these scriptural points helped me immensely. First off, this is a great question because almost every reader of the Bible (esp. new ones) will come across these seemingly contradicting statements. Regarding Eph 2:8 and 9, the entire provision for salvation is an expression of God’s undeserved kindness. There is no way that a descendant of Adam can gain salvation on his own, no matter how noble his works are. Salvation is a gift from God given to those who put faith in the sin-atoning value of the sacrifice of his Son. The new Christian arrangement, did away with this notion that 'works', including the 'works of Law' could (alone) save someone. Paul's reminds the Ephesians 'we are saved not by our own works' - but through the greater sacrifice of Jesus Christ. A good cross-reference for Phil 2:12 'work out your own salvation' (where Paul was urging them not to be overly confident but to realize that their final salvation was not yet assured) is Hebrews 10: 26, 27 (NIV): "If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, but only a fearful expectation of judgment..." |

Q. "So the believe and the sayins of ones saved forever save does nt work here.?" A. "See to it, brothers, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God. But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin's deceitfulness. We have come to share in Christ if we hold firmly till the end the confidence we had at first. - Hebrew 3:12-14 (NIV) "If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, but only a fearful expectation of judgment..." - Hebrews 10:26 (NIV) Q. And what does grace have to do in our daily walk with Christ after we been save by grace? A."For it is by grace you have been saved... the gift of God... For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works..." - Eph 2:8,9. (NIV) "It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift... if they fall away, to be brought back to repentance, because to their loss they are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting him to public disgrace." - Hebrews 6:4-6 (NIV) |
