Working out my salvation

Did he tell you to read the next verse too? "For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure".
Philippians 2:13.

 

Notice he didnt write work for your own salvation. The Salvation was already theirs back a Gift of Grace, else it couldn't be ones own salvation.

And to work it out means its already been worked in you by God.

Heb 13:20-21

20 Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant,

21 Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

Jn 3:21

But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God

Isa 26:12

Lord, thou wilt ordain peace for us: for thou also hast wrought all our works in us.
