Definitions and Properties
Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure. Philippians 2:12-13 ESV
The Fundamental Theorem of Algebra states that every polynomial function of degree n has exactly n solutions.
All Mathematical statements (theorems) are observations, based on stated truths (axioms). They simply exist in the context of the axiom system. No equation has to be told to have solutions. It is just what equations do - they follow their default path.
In the same way, as believers in Christ, because our hearts are changed, our salvation has less to do with who we learned about Christ from, but who that salvation is making us into. God's will (and good pleasure) is for us to do good works. Letting God do what He does, and letting Him invite us to join Him is what being a believer is about.
What circumstances do you need to place in God's hands?
Would letting God take you on the path He meant for you change the circumstances?
Where do you need to trust in His will?
