Working Out Your Own Salvation
Scott teaches that working out your salvation is the present-tense renewing of the soul, the everyday labor of disciple-making.
Scott opened this week the way he sometimes does, with a story from his own life. It honored an old friend, and the home Bible study that once returned the New Covenant writings to their Jewish context and eventually drew his own father to faith. Then he turned back to the disciple-making study. A question sits underneath the whole thing. What actually happens inside a person once they come to faith, and why do so many believers still feel like they are quietly losing?
If you are struggling against sin this week, is that proof something has gone wrong in you? Or is it evidence of something else entirely?
