What it means to work out our salvation and God is working in us

Just wanted to post these articles/sermons because it seems to me that perhaps some are not too sure about how much effort we need to put in in working out our salvation. Its all of us (and its ACTIVE faith and its all of God).And no, I'm not advocating a works based salvation. One really needs to start with John MacArthurs's sermons first and only then Paul Washer.

As a sidenote, this website has many good articles/sermons from good pastors like J C Ryle etc
