When Paul the Apostle writes to Philippian Christians to "work out salvation with fear and trembling" (Philippians 2:12b) he is advising them to do what he is doing. What is Paul doing? He is thinking through his own life and the possibility of his imminent death (Philippians 1:21-26).
He prefers to die in order to go to be with the Lord. But he views living as "more necessary" (Philippians 1:24) for the benefit of the Christians at Philippi.
What is the most necessary thing of my life...and yours?
