Remember the song “You’ll Never Walk Alone,” from the musical “Carousel?” Keep this in mind regarding the following verse from Philippians 2:12 ... just as you have always obeyed, ... work out your salvation with fear and trembling.” Pastor John Linton addresses this in his teaching on sanc-tification. Now that’s a big word. Sanctification occurs when a person consecrates (sets apart) themselves by faith in Jesus for God. That believer is then called a saint, holy one, whom God has also set apart for Himself and the believer for God. So does the believer “work out his salvation” by himself? To “work out” is to put into practice what God had worked in them by His Spirit. We are not told to work for our salvation in our daily lives, but to work out the salvation God had already given us. Believers are partners with God laboring together with Him. God by His grace gives man the desire to do God’s will; then God causes man to work out God’s will. So what about the “fear and trembling?” This simply means that the outworking is to be done with complete trust in God and not ourselves, submitting to His will. We are to refuse temptations and sinful impulses. That’s our job, but it is accomplished by the power of the Holy Spirit within us. So in this sanctification process, “we will never walk alone.” God walks with us; He does not walk for us.

When you’re exposed to media of various kinds you can become desensitized to the things you’re encounter-ing. And I’ve been noticing an aspect of this recently. Many television programs and movies present people living lives that are foreign to the reality we experience every day. It’s called escapism. It carries you out of your life that seems very ordinary and transports you into a world of fantasy. On the other hand, if you spend any amount of time in the Bible it doesn’t take long before you come to the conclusion that it’s presenting life as it really is. There’s stories of love and those of betrayal. There’s characters who live exemplary lives and those whose lives are filled with sinful behavior. And always in the midst of these real lives you see the presence of God. The characters find themselves having to face the reality of their sin in light of the perfection of God. Some of them cry out to God for mercy and others run from the searchlight of God’s truth. That’s one of the reasons I love the Bible, it shows me who I really am and forces me to deal with reality.
The church meets online every Sunday at 10 a.m.
