An often misunderstood concept in the Bible. For those that are new and have wondered whether this phrase means to shake in terror, cower in abject fear, and be in a constant state of throat swallowing dread, I have great news for you! For those that follow Christ and obey his commands it simply means profound respect and reverence for the Word and teachings of God. It means to treat what God has commanded us, and what his Son Jesus has visibly shown us as holy. For in following the example that Jesus set, we fulfill all righteousness and faith, making both daily visible. Now thats a great feeling!
Furthermore, those that follow Christ know that if they continuously and knowingly disobey God then what they have to look forward to is that dreadful and terrible expectation of punishment. But for those that seek God, believe God, and joyfully obey God such grey expectations shall be far from them! Have an excellent and admirable day friends!
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge,
but fools despise wisdom and discipline. Proverbs 1:7
King Solomon visited by the Queen of Sheba. The Bible states that he was the wisest man
that ever lived. He wrote the above Proverb.
