Paul writes in Phil 2:12-13:
Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. 13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
This passage is often misused to instill or to cause fear in people, by warning them that it means they can lose salvation, be cast away from the Lord if they don’t meet with His approval.
