Doing

 Philippians 4:6

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;
Many people suffer today from anxiety and it would be insulting to them to just quote them the first part of the verse. We have to go through the whole verse and really the next 2 verses as well.
Philippians 4:7
and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:8
Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.
The Lord doesn’t just tell us something not to do without giving us something to do. It is In doing what we should do that helps us, really, to stop doing the negative thing. You will also find that what the Lord wants us to stop and start are all for our good.
These verses are not about doing things that please God for His sake. It is for our sake.
These verses are another demonstration of His love and grace for us. To get is out of and keep us from anxiety which does nothing but harm and hinder us.

Correct?  So then why are there people in hell now and why are there people who are and will still go to hell and who will be cast into the lake of fire, which is the second death, to exist for eternity? Did God’s grace not apply for them?   The problem wasn’t God’s grace the problem was that they did not have or use faith to access it. To put it in an earthy conte
