Active VS Passive
Being active means you will go and do it. Being passive means you’d do it if someone asks you to do it, but won’t if someone doesn’t.

Whenever we see this phrase, what Paul said, “work out your salvation with fear and trembling” will probably come to mind.

Acts 2:1ff
On the day of Pentecost, after Jesus ascended to heaven, the Holy Spirit came upon 120 believers who were praying in the upper room. When the Holy Spirit descended on them, they spoke in tongues. There were onlookers who didn’t understand what was happening. Although they were Jews, although they knew about the Old Testament promises, they didn’t under:6-‘d what was happening. They had different opinions on what was happening. So Peter quoted the prophecy in Joel to explain the phenomenon that they saw.

We must we pray?

1. Because it’s a form of worship
2. Because it’s thanksgiving
3. Because it’s how we confess our sins before God
4. Because it’s God’s will for His children.
