Many people get “awe struck” when they are in the presence of celebrities, sports stars, or the powerful men and women of this world – how much more should we be awe struck by the Creator of the entire universe. As the Word says, “it is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the Living God”, as it should be; it should strike fear in us to receive even a glimpse of His nature. (Blog on the Fear of God coming soon)
If u have had your eyes opened to the reality that hell would be right for u, and u understand that God has the power to send u there forever, and that strikes fear in u, that’s good–that is the beginning of wisdom. Proverbs 9:10a The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom
The fear of the Lord is the means by which we obtain God’s blessing. If we do not fear the Lord, we will continue on in our sin; essentially, we are carelessly, and fearlessly walking on the edge of God’s Wrath until one day we fall into an eternity of God’s Wrath.
The fear of the LORD leads to life, and whoever has it rests satisfied; he will not be visited by harm.
