2 Ch 20:17 'You will not need to fight in this battle. Position yourselves, stand still and see the salvation of the LORD...
Can you imagine winning a battle without flexing a single muscle in your own body, triumphing over your enemies without exerting any effort at all?
It could very well be said that in this instance king Jehoshapat and company were by grace made victorious through faith and not of themselves. It was the gift of God. Not of works lest they should boast.
If salvation were likened to winning over a battle, and if we apply this verse to it, then all one has to do with regards salvation is this---you will not need to exert effort to win it. All you have to do is position yourself, relying on the Savior, stand still and see salvation of the Lord which He accomplished for you on the cross of Calvary!
