"Work out My Salvation with Fear and Trembling?" What does that mean?!
What does it mean to, “Work out our salvation with fear and trembling”?
Jesus was/is patient and loving and kind, but also, and maybe even more importantly, ZEALOUS, and STRONG, and FIRM. Jesus IS NOT our homeboy. He probably had a pretty big dose of what the world today might call, “Toxic Masculinity.”
As the modern Christian Church, at least in our rush to embrace a Doctrine of Grace, we have become really comfortable attempting to making Christ like us, and a lot less comfortable making US LIKE CHRIST!
God is not interested in a social club that we call church. God is interested in real change that occurs in the deepest, deepest parts of our hearts.
Jesus is the one who loved us so much, that in spite of our love of darkness and sin, He still chose to die in the most horrible way possible, to be the perfect sacrificial lamb, to atone for our sin, and to deflect God's righteous wrath, so that I can be saved, and you can be saved.
When we recognize that THAT perfect man, God incarnate, chose a horrible death, chose to be the perfect sacrifice, that a perfect and righteous God demanded so that we could be saved, when we understand that, THEN we will get on our knees, and work out our salvation with fear and trembling.
