Top Highlights
“They are commanded to put effort into achieving their salvation. In the Bible, ‘salvation’ is represented in three different ways: as past, present, and future. These three designations involve justification, sanctification, and glorification. In justification, believers are saved immediately from the penalty of sin. In sanctification, they are saved progressively from the power and practice of sin. In glorification, they are saved ultimately from the presence of sin. The mention of ‘salvation’ in this verse points to their sanctification in daily Christian living. They were not to work for their salvation, but to work out their salvation. They were to work out what God had already worked in.” (Page 106)
