What does it mean to "work out your own salvation"? It certainly doesn't mean we work for our salvation. Instead, in light of what has come beforehand - in light of the cross of Christ and his exaltation, we are to 'work out' what our salvation means for us today - what a cruciform life 'worthy of the gospel' looks like in practice. Before long we will realise (and probably have to learn time and time again!) that we can only live such a life because it is God who works in us, both to will and to work for his good pleasure. It is his grace and power which enable us to live such a life, in Christ. Thanks be to God!
