Jeff Osborn, asking us how we can reconcile the scriptures requiring that we “work out our own salvation,” “bear one another’s burdens,” and “salvation comes by faith, not by works,” suggests that the contexts in which all three of these are correct are quite logical. In the Parable of the Talents, we learn that we receive capabilities with which to work. God expects us to apply effort and energy to produce good works, managing the spiritual gifts He has given us, glorifying God by our actions. While we manage these gifts, we need to realize that salvation is God’s gift. We also need to realize that we desperately need the support and encouragement from one another, having a certain degree of trust in each other. Part of having a relationship with God is having a family relationship with one another, exhorting one another to good works. Through our relationship to God, we renew God’s power working in us. God wants to spend eternity with a group of individuals who love one another. Bear one another’s burdens * Burying talents * Ephesians 2:8 * Galatians 6:2-10 * Go eat popcorn * Holy of Holies * Isolation * James 2:14-17, 5:13-18 * Luke 10: 17 * Malachi 3:16 * Matthew 5:13-16, 7:1-4, 25:14 * Parable of the Talents * Paradox * Philippians 2:12 * Power of prayer * Salvation by grace * Self contradictory * Veil of the temple * Work out own salvation with fear and trembling |
