To start this section off, I'll ask a question that I think many wonder about. What does the following verse mean:
"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, emphasis mine)
Since we cannot earn our salvation (per Ephesians 2:8-10), we know that "work" doesn't mean we try to earn our salvation. And "fear and trembling" would seem to contradict Romans 8:1.
So, any takers?
