That was awesome. A thought on "working out your salvation with fear before God."

I think it means to devote everything you have to it. If you knew that you were going to die tomorrow, and the only way you could save yourself was to do some amazingly difficult thing, working out your salvation in fear I think gives a good sense of how hard you would work to accomplish it.

I think the problem is that with salvation we always think we will have more time, we procrastinate the day of our repentance. We are always so busy with other Babylonian concerns. I think we are being told time is short and valuable. Even if we spend our whole lives striving with urgency for our salvation, there is always more. There is certainly no time to squander. Which, really, is not that different than what you said.

Libertas optimas rarem, nunquam servili sub nexu.
"There is no gift like Liberty, therefore never live under slavery."
