Pull on your work gloves, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“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…”
(Philippians 2:12)

I can’t work UP my salvation, Jesus.

I’m saved by my faith in You, not by my works.

But I do have to work OUT my salvation once I’ve received it!

Not casually, but with fear and trembling –

‘cause the stakes are really, really, really high!

Pray this Lazaroo with Scriptural balance:

“If I rebuild what I destroyed, then I really would be a lawbreaker. For through the law I died to the law so that I might live for God.”
(Galatians 2:18-19)

Paul was being attacked for the message You gave Him, Jesus:

We’re saved by faith in You
not by the things we do.

But You also wanted him to make crystal clear:

What we do for You matters!

And so does our determination to show our love for You

by living holy lives.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“…not by works…”
(Ephesians 2:9)

The lazy person is thrilled to hear this, Jesus!

You save us because we believe in You
not because of anything we do to earn heaven.

(Of course, lazy people need to remember

that faith without works is dead.)

Ironically, though, it’s the faithful, dependable, diligent person

who struggles most when they hear
that even their greatest achievements
aren’t even close to enough.

What can wash away my sin?

Nothing but Your blood, my Jesus.
