Bible Note: Dear Nolan, Greetings in Jesus' name! So, are sanctification and glorification part of salvation? "So then, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your salvation with fear and trembling; for it is God who is at work in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure." Philippians 2:12,13 NASB. "Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus." Philippians 3:13,14 NASB. "The soul of the sluggard craves and gets nothing, But the soul of the diligent is made fat." Proverbs 13:4 NASB. "Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may win. Everyone who competes in the games exercises self-control in all things. They then do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable." 1 Corinthians 9:24,25 NASB. "Therefore let us be diligent to enter that rest, so that no one will fall, through following the same example of disobedience." Hebrews 4:11 NASB. Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap. For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary." Galatians 6:7-9 NASB. "...but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory, both now and to the day of eternity. Amen." 2 Peter 3:18 NASB. Brother, there are more than a few more Scriptures that speak of the pursuit of salvation. None of them are salvation by works! But the holy desire to finish what God has done in our hearts, by serving Him, by giving our wills to Him. God perfects us in this life, to the end of glorification, which is the culmination of our relationship with God. Our God wants us to live a saved life, and is pleased with us when we confirm His work through submission. No one is saying we get saved over and over again. :-) But we ARE saved daily! Peace and joy in Christ Jesus, charis |
