How do we work out our salvation?

Who can read the words of Christ without feeling at heart that there is a great work to do?—something more than calling upon His name. 

Let the vitalising principle of his teachings extend its influence over the dominion of life, and feed the soul with fruits of immortal glory, gathered by diligent maintenance of the precepts laid down as a guide to follow. 

Every act counts for you by its saving tendency—or the reverse. 

Then salvation rests with you, making you responsible for the wayward use made of gifts bestowed for a God-given purpose. 

He who rules designed in the beginning that the nearer you approach His greatness, the more his glory and wisdom should be displayed. 

Rise then in the power of might and produce new shoots of mental attainment, every way characteristic of a holier and more zealous determination to work out your own salvation.
