🗡️ This Family Sunday School lesson was delivered at Pilgrim Baptist Church in Cookeville, TN on Sunday, October 12, 2025, at 10:00 am. 🗡️

What does it truly mean to "work out your salvation with fear and trembling"? This powerful biblical sermon explores the profound difference between salvation and sanctification, and why every believer must learn to tremble at God's Word—not in terror, but in reverent awe.

In This Life-Changing Message, You'll Discover:

✅ The biblical principle behind Philippians 2:12 and how it applies to saved believers

✅ Why Isaiah 66 warns us against choosing our own ways over God's ways

✅ How the Holy Spirit guides us into ALL truth through Scripture (John 14:26, 16:13, 17:17)

✅ The danger of unstable Bible interpretation and how to avoid it (2 Peter 3:16)

✅ Why God wants obedience, not just religious rituals

✅ How to develop a heart that stands in awe of God's Word (Psalm 119)

This expository preaching dives deep into the heart issues that plague modern Christianity—when we claim to love God but refuse to tremble at His Word. Whether you're struggling with doubts about salvation, dealing with heart problems in your Christian walk, or simply want to grow deeper in biblical truth, this sermon will challenge and encourage you.

The Holy Spirit inspired Scripture to correct us, instruct us, and thoroughly furnish us for every good work. Are you ready to receive God's Word with a ready mind and contrite spirit? This biblical teaching will help you understand the crucial difference between working out your salvation and maintaining it through fear and trembling at God's commands.

Perfect for: Christians seeking deeper biblical understanding, new believers learning about sanctification, church members studying Philippians, anyone wrestling with obedience and Christian living, Bible study groups, and those who want solid expository preaching rooted in Scripture.
