Thirsting Souls Bible Teaching

(Php 2:12)  “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.”   The idea of “working out your own salvation” here is not “to earn”, but living what has been wrought inside the born again. Proof would be Eph 2:8 – 10:  “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God (given and received): (9)  Not of works, lest any man should boast. (10)  For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.”  In other words, live this salvation in your heart in obedience to that which you have received (the Word of God) and quit seeking to add to it, for nothing could possibly be added to the perfection of the offering – Jesus Christ!
