Tremble
Have you ever had a very close call? A time when you might have been seriously injured or fatally wounded? How did you feel?
People laugh, or cry. They may be weak-kneed. They may tremble with relief. I’ve seen photos of pilots kissing the ground.
From a spiritual perspective, believers have been rescued from darkness and transferred to the kingdom of Jesus Christ. We don’t deserve it, but we are saved from hell and headed to heaven.
He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son. (Colossians 1:13)
Now that should make us rejoice with weak-kneed, trembling, joy.
And we should tremble when we think what Jesus endured for us. His suffering was vast, His crucifixion is unimaginable, and the impact of experiencing God’s wrath is beyond comprehension. All that to save those who believe in Him.
Tremble!
You might want to find some music or videos of Were You There? Or sing it yourself.
[Since you] believe in Him, you greatly rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, obtaining as the outcome of your faith the salvation of your souls.” (1 Peter 1:8–9)
Rejoice!
