That Fear & Trembling

Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. Philippians 2:12

 "You have the fear of God before you, and you will have a trembling lest you will depart from the counsels of God. 

There will be that trembling. 

Q: Does it rest here? 

A: No, let us hear how the divine power comes in: “For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure” (verse 13). 

Here are man's works, 

and here are God's works. 

They both cooperate. 

Man cannot accomplish this work without the help of the divine power."

E.G.W.
