Who are the righteous?
If we believe and obey the Apostolic message and walk with God, are we barely going to make it in to heaven? Do we need to live in a state of constant repentance? (I'm not talking about having a repentant heart, but more out of fear)
Does this verse apply to those who are a part of the Bride of Christ?
Preachers, how do you use this verse to your congregation?

Paul did say to work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
I think the "righteous" in this case does refer to the Church and shows our utter dependence on God for our salvation.
