Text: Philippians 2:12-13
“So then” – imitate Christ’s example
“As you have always obeyed” – persistent, continuous
“Not as in my presence only…in my absence” – willing, not forced
“Work out your own” – individual responsibility
“Salvation” – not about life on earth, but eternal life
“With fear and trembling” – knowing there is punishment for not obeying
“Work for His good pleasure” – do the works of God

Ever since the fall in the Garden of Eden, sin and temptation have plagued mankind. As long as the world stands, evil forces and destructive influences will surround us.
We continue to deal with problems related to sin and temptation – both individually and collectively – but the specific issues that rise to prominence will vary from generation to generation. This material addresses some of the chief issues facing our present age – abortion, racism, drug abuse, social media, materialism, and more – by presenting explanations, statistics, and Bible principles. There are also questions at the end of each lesson in order to aid in both personal and group Bible studies.
As Christians, we need to understand the state of the world around us so that we can guard against its destructive influence and help lead others to the truth. Both young people and adults will benefit from a study of these issues.
