It means to tremble...with fear.

I agree that the truth is always a dialectic...two seemingly contradictory statements that together frame the truth. Like fearing the Lord and yet perfect loves casts out all fear...like not being under the law yet abiding in the fulness of the law. Unless someone already understands the truth...

Paul is speaking of the law of righteousness...doing what is pleasing to God. It is obvious that the sacrificial system is done away with in Christ. If you look carefully you will see that even Judaism is unable to continue in the holiness part of the law. It has been superceded by the sacrifice...

..against SUCH there is no law. My body heals itself when I get a cut. When I have no cut...I don't need that healing. But the healing abiblity is still there. That is the way it is with the law. When we walk by the Spirit we are not under the law. But the law is still there if needed. If we...

"The fear of God and the peace proceeding from the love of God need to coexist in the believer's heart because the peace of God by itself cannot induce repentance in the sinner's heart and thus, no salvation. And on the other hand, the fear of God without His love creates despair.Therefore, a...

The love of other things will choke out the word so that we will read something in the bible while totally ignoring the implications. For instance Jesus tells us we must hate our families and even our own lives compared to Him. This is thrown aside as we care for our families first and seek to...

We are already doing the calf thing. Idolatry is rampant in the church. We do not live in a vacuum. It is just that idolatry is not SEEN as idolatry because there are no literal golden calfs about. We are careful about that! ;) A partial list of idols...nationalism (flag)...the pursuit of our...

The means of salvation is finished, but we still have to walk it out by faith. The law is no more abolished than gravity has been abolished. But God has made men to fly, so to speak, by giving him the wings of faith. We are not saved by the elimination of the law.....but by it's fulfillment in...

But the law is still in place because the judgment has not yet come. Jesus said that heaven and earth would pass away before the slightest point of the law was taken away. Until the SEED Jesus Christ came men were under the condemnation of the law they could not keep. They were in bondage to a...

Gal 3:15 Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though it be but a man's covenant, yet if it be confirmed, no man disannulleth, or addeth thereto. Gal 3:16 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is...

The law is for the lawless...but that doesnt mean we get away with more for our beliefs. The opposite is true. To whom much is given MORE is required. So the resurrection grace of Christ given to us enables us to walk in perfect accordance with the law in all righteousness. The Holy Spirit...

We don't have faith in Christ in order to avoid the law...but in order to empower us to fulfill it.

An excellent post! :)

David said... Psa 119:47 And I will delight myself in thy commandments, which I have loved Psa 119:48 My hands also will I lift up unto thy commandments, which I have loved; and I will meditate in thy statutes. Psa 119:142 Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is...

...we are to love them...

1Co 10:1 Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; 1Co 10:2 And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; 1Co 10:3 And did all eat the same spiritual meat; 1Co 10:4 And did all...

On Christian unity: Why can't we just all agree on the same errors? ;)

The true church in our time is in Babylonian captivity. There are very few who are left in the land. Most have been captured by the man-made institutions and share in the idolatries of this world. For now....

This is truth!

The spiritual church is also the true physical church. The religious intitutions are of men not God. So they are counterfeit if they are not spiritual in conduct and guidance. We cannot serve two masters.
