Subject: for by grace you have been saved through |
Bible Note: Hi Hank, Thank you for the comparison of Ephesians 2:8,9 with Philippians 2:12. Compare also Ephesians 2:10. Ephesians 2:8, "For by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of (God); 9 not as a result of works, that no one should boast. 10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which **God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them." contrast: Philippians 2:11, "and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is (Lord) to the glory of God the Father. 12 So then, my brethren, just as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only. but much more in my absence, work out your salvation with fear and trembling; 13 for God is the **One who is at work in you, both to will and to work for His pleasure." This One is working in us to do His pleasure. What we have to do is hold fast to the word of life (Philippians 2:16) thus receiving the knowledge of the truth (Hebrews 10:26). The hardest part seems to be doing all things without grumbling or disputing. From the heart, Ray |
