Salvation by grace through faith in Christ alone. period.
Philippians 2 : 12-13
12Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyednot only in
my presence, but now much more in my absencecontinue to work out
your salvation with fear and trembling, 13for it is God who works
in you to will and to act according to his good purpose.
[*Note : the preceeding verses are on imitating Yeshuah's
Humility]
[verse 14-18 about doing everything without complaining or arguing,
and be a light to this world]
Here, we need to read both verse 12 and 13 together for they are of
the same sentence. yes, verse 12 Paul did says and even exhort the
believers to continue to work out your salvation with fear and
trembling, but also note that in verse 13, he continue to remind
us, its not our own effort or ability, its God who works in us,
both to will and to act according to His good purpose.
(so none of us can boast that its our own effort, but in thanks
giving and graditude, praise and worship God)
