ability of the devil to deceive cannot be overssti- f
mated. With fear and trembling we ought to pur-
sue our courses of life knowing that the possibility
of falling is about us.
There is another thought which should be im-
pressed upon our minds befdre leaving this lesson.
When we think of working out our own salvation
with fear and trembling, there comes to the mind
of the listener the question, just how this can be
done.
What course must I pursue; what path must I
tread? Let us go to our text and see if we caif ans-
wer this. Looking .down to vs. 16 we see where
Paul summarizes the responsibility of the church
in this phrase, “Holdftig forth the word of life . . .”
This phrase with all of its implications may well
be the answer to our question. To hold forth the
word oj^llfe implies that this word must be In us
and abound; it must be the guide for the individ-
ual Christian. Hence it is the Christian will hold
the word of God within his heart and cherish the
oracles of inspiration for all that they mean to
. him. He will have a devout regard for the word
of God-and will mold his life aftegMts teachings.
Jehovah has well said, "To this man will I look,
even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit
and that trembleth.

The man who follows the scripture diligently,
who puts forth one continuous effort to become
more Christ-like, is the man who day by day is
working out his own salvation with fear and
trembling. The man who conscientiously faces
stark reality in knowing that there is a heaven
to be gained and hell to be avoided and who works
to gain the one and" avoid the other, this is the
man who is at work at his own personal salvation.

lustrious apostle Paul; the man who had given
himself to be a servant of sin and rebellion against
God when converted was just as tireless in work-
ing in behalf of his Saviour. Think of his example
when he preached in the city of Ephesus. Paul ’
declared to the elders of the church that he shrank
not from declaring anything that was profitable
and that he taught them publicly and from
house to house (Acts 20:30). He told further of his
efforts: "But none of these things move me, neith-
er could I hold my life dear unto myself, so that!
might finish my course with joy, and the minis-
try,, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to
testify the gospel of the grace of God.’; (Acts 20:
24) He reminded them that his hands oftentimes
ministered to his own necessities and to the neces-
sities of his co-laborers (Acts 20:34).
' Both Christ and Paul then come before us as
outstanding examples of those who put forth an
extreme effort to be saved. Paul’s admonition to
work out your own salvation is a personal en-
couragement to every individual to work hard and
faithfully in this matter of going to heaven.
Yet there is another thought that we need to -
keep in mind for Paul tells us what should chara-
cterize our conduct as we work out our salvation.
He adds to that, "Work*out your own .salvation
with fear and trembling." Now these are rather
strong and peculiar words to be using—with fear
and trembling. In them is implied a great deal.
There are those among ‘ modem religious people
who tell us that it is impossible for a man to be
lost. ' ,
That is, once we are saved, we are always saved.
Certainly if this is true and if Paul knew It to be
true, there would be little sense in his statement
’ to work out bur salvation with fear and trembling.
• Why fear and ’why tremble if 'ft is impossible to
do anything else but be saved? There are those
modernists in religion who scoff at the idea that'
there is a hell, who dogmatically state thsft no-
body will be lost for there is no hell to which
they can go. And again if this idea is true and if
Paul knew it to be true, why did he admonish
them to work out their own salvation with fear
and trembling if it were impossible for them to be
lost since there is no hell?
Paul uses these two words in order to impress
the seriousness of our own conduct upon us. There
is a possibility that once we start out to be Chris-
tians that we will grow tired and weary along the
way; our footsteps may falter and we will be lost.
The power of sin is great and tremendous. The

The other day we visited the
Cathedral of St. P^ter in the
Vatican City. Certainly it to a
magnificent work of art which
defies my powers of description,
but admiration of the beauty of it
was overwhelmed by a depressing
feeling that the spirit of Christ
was not there. Ruth (my wife)
observed that any physical re-
presentation of Him was also
lacking, except for a small cruci-
fix, while of various popes, and
saints (?) there were statues ga-
lore. Still they speak of 8t. Peter's
as “the most* important monu-
ment of Christianity.”
The absence of Christ from
this huge^ edifice becomes more
evident as one considers the
richness of its adornments. One
cannot estimate how many
widows and orphans in their
afflictions could have been
visited, even every day of their
lives, with necessities of life
paid for from the price of that
temple and the riches in'Its
treasury. The very existence of
the place demonstrates the dis-
regard for the command of Jes-
us that we "lay not up . .. treas-
ures upon earth.”
The treasures of St. Peter’s
never filled a hungry mouth or
preached the gospel to a hungry
soul; they only "with their stu-
pendous architecture sing the
glories and the triumphs of the
^catholic) church." The kiss-worn
soul. A Catholic friend vtdtti« tn
Rome this week remarked: “Tru-
ly there are many churches tat
this country, but very little spirit-
ual sentiment." Religion and
politics are so intertwined that
people forget that one or the
other can be considered alone, and
they are constantly reminded that
of all the rulers of Rome, the
Catholic church alone remains.
A lady who has known many
nuns declared, "I am auro that V
the Pope would release all mma
from their vows, not even one or
two per cept would remain. I
don’t see why they are held
against their wUL” But still stye
goes to confession and mats An-
other young lady remarked. “They
are soliciting money to build a
new church. Why don’t they uae
it to build houses for people”?
She’s sun a Catholic. Many find
fault, but never stop to tifink
that these faults may penetrate |
and undermine the whole system
of saint-kissing and cruciftx-
clutching.
