Fear of the Lord

God is Love, but He is also to be feared. The fear of the Lord is a Holy reverent respect for God that causes us to take Him very, very serious, realizing He is all knowing all-powerful , and completely holds our lives, our universe, our judgement, and our eternal destiny in His hands. To fear Him is to be soberly aware of His awesome Authority over us, not going around thinking we can do whatever we want without real side-effects or consequences. As a result, fearing the Lord keeps a child's and a man's desires and life in check. Fearing the Lord transforms our thinking. it is a blessing and a protection to us. it causes us to guard what we say and helps us make wise decisions about what we do. it motivates a person not to steal, sleep around, or abuse their body with drugs and alcohol etc..- because we know a Holy God is watching over us at all times and will Judge us one day for our actions.
