“So you need do nothing to be saved?”

Whatever I need, God will provide.

“Everything is the work of the Father?”

Amen.

“The Father planted belief in your brain, but not others?”

God is sovereign, He does what He wills. If God is not fit to judge who He will save and who He won’t, then who should judge?

“You make no sense whatsoever.”

Then don’t listen to me, listen to Jesus:

“All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will certainly not cast out” John 6:37

Jesus may save you, but it is the Father who sends you to Jesus so that you may be saved.

So why does Paul say: “ Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling” Phil 2:12

So if God provides your salvation, what do you need to work out? Why is there fear and trembling?

Please be very specific in your response. How does one ‘work out your salvation?’ The clear language of Scripture shows you have to do something – work out- to obtain salvation.
