What is the "anyone's work" is Paul speaking of?

Do you have an example of this.?

The proper way to cash a check such as a birthday check. Is the act of cashing the check imply merit on the person given the check?

I have read some of your comments. You are certainly lactose intolerance.

Could you rewrite this so I can properly respond?

Okay but: The question remains. Does cashing or "depositing" a birthday check imply you have earned it? Regardless of who is the check or how much is the check, is there a need to properly accept the check?

The question remains. Does cashing or "depositing" a birthday check imply you have earned it? Regardless of who is the check or how much is the check, is there a need to properly accept the check?

A uncashed check is a worthless check. Just as faith without works is worthless. James 2:26 As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead. We may debate what works are needed but not the need for works.

It's an analogy. In other words, we must accept God on His terms. We must obey God in order to receive His grace. There is no work in properly accepting God's grace. Claiming God's grace without obeying Him is mocking His will. And this is what you are doing. Galatians 6:7 New International...

When someone writes a check as a gift does the cashing of the check imply the person earned the gift? Is there merit, maintenance or assistance in the need to cash the check?

The question is not does the sheep hear the voice to the shepherd. The question is are you his sheep. This is at the core of this discussion. You and many others here are simply claiming to be followers of Jesus without the possibility of error. Am I correct? Is there any possibility of you...

Here is the verse: New International Version Philippians 2:12 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, The verse is written in the general, as is much of...

Paul does not mention the details but the mindset. But this is for sure. It is not to be conflated with assistance.

No one is pushing this issue. You are simply conflating obedience with assistance. He needs neither but demands our obedience. God is sovereign do not question His will. If God tells me to work out my salvation in fear and trembling, I will.

I want you and others to think this comment out. As shown in Post# 1021 and 1023 you do not know the meaning of definitions. I suspect you are unaware of many other things.

I am the "individual" who answered your question Post#349. And I said no such thing.

??? Can you explain what you are implying.

Your misuse of the Word of God is boorish as well. Do not hide behind scripture, you are simply being obtuse.

A boorish response at best.

I am happy to answer your question as written. No, my obedience does not contribute to my salvation.
