Fear and Trembling
Bible Text: Philippians 2:12-13 | Preacher: James Allan | Series: Philippians | This epistle has a theme of joy and peace, but here we are told to do something in the spirit of fear and trembling. Not that we cry out to God out of fear in a crisis – salvation is by grace, not works – but there are then works for us to do. Our salvation is given to us but we are to work it out. The Christian grows and goes on to do those God works prepared for them. Fear and trembling means doing them in the right spirit, following Christ. He is nothing but good to those who follow Him.
