Paul is teaching the Philippians that salvation is a group effort. He tells them to work out their salvation in fear and trembling. We cannot work out our personal salvation in isolation from one another.
There is a great deal of wrong things going on in our world today, but the Psalmist reminds us to also be mindful of the wrong things that are going on within ourselves.
In this historic moment the churches of Christ must assertively remind our fellow citizens that the only remedy for today’s social ills is not simply the love of God, but the love of God as we see God existing in our neighbor.
