Religion and Faith

Matthew 22

I was just at a sort of ad-hoc youth group and an interesting sermon was given.  The guy talking (a fellow councillor) talked about how in the Parable of the Wedding, or the Parable of the King's Banquet (depending on translation) it says that the "Kingdom of God is like unto..." and then goes on to describe a temper-tantrum king, murder, and rejection.

Work out your own salvation?

Posted on: 02/26/2009 12:26

Philippians 2:12 says 'work out your own salvation...with fear..for it is God what works within you'. Loosely paraphrased...

So, what does that mean for us? I hear a lot of talk about Tolle and the greatness of the Presence of Now. Is that not just the Kingdom of God within us? What about this working out salvation on your own? If Jesus died for us, for our salvation, then why do we have to work on it?
