This is my last post because after this, I'll really be on hiatus. :)
Even though how rich we are. Even though how poor we are. Even though how fat or thin we are. Even though how hungry or full we are; even though how happy or sad we are; even though how intellectual we are--we all end up with the same end: death.
It's just up to us to choose where to head after death--and the choice depends on us while we are still alive and breathing. We can choose to pick to be with God and we can even choose not to be with God after life here on earth. That's why we need to work out our salvation. Our salvation is a life time process--sure we are already saved the moment we receive Jesus, but it is still up to us to work it out. It doesn't mean that we when we are friends with someone, we'll always be friends with them. No, we can't always be friends with them unless we work it out.
Same goes with the process of salvation. Salvation doesn't happen overnight--it happens everyday. We pay the price for salvation the way God paid the price for our sins--and that price is to remain in His love plus following His commands. We need to make effort to be saved. We cannot be saved if we keep being idle; we cannot be saved by just sitting there and waiting for things to happen. With God's help, we could WORK out His salvation. While His grace is still there, we CAN still work it out.
So from now, we can start deciding whether we end up being with Christ, or not.
