Friends,
In the study of physics, "work" has a very specific definition. And by definition, work can only have occurred if there has been some change in the subject's physical state. So if a man pushes against a brick wall for an hour, but the wall does not move, there has been no work (as related to the wall).
2 Timothy 1:9
who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began,
[NKJV] emphasis added
We can work very hard trying to live a good, moral and upright life. We can give up drinking, swearing and philandering. We will certainly have a better life if we do so. But all of that effort will have changed nothing, as related to our salvation. Nothing eternal is affected by our efforts. No work will have been done.
It is Jesus who has done the work.
The work Christ at Calvary has made a difference. Our state has been changed.
Be encouraged, Jose
