So then, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your salvation with fear and trembling.
—Philippians 2:12
Fear is experienced within, while trembling is exhibited without. We should fear that we are not completing the salvation we have been given.
