Fear of God or Deep Respect

The Bible makes it clear that every Christian should be 'afraid' to God. The real fear of God encompasses the deep respect and surprise, and much more. David says, "Sin says the wicked: in my heart there is no fear of God in front of my eyes to his." (Psalm 36:1) David really means: "If I see someone living in evil, my heart says that he does not at all afraid of God. He does not recognize the truth about sin and not hear God's call to holiness. "

The truth is that a healthy fear of God helps us to victory in difficult times. How do we get such a fear? Jeremiah equivalent to prophecy: "And I give them one heart and one way, so that they are afraid of me all its life, and so their goes well and their children after them. And I will make with them in the eternal covenant, so I do not turn away from them, but I do them good, and I give my fear in their hearts, so that they do not abandon me. (Jeremiah 32:39-40)

This is a wonderful promise from God. He promises to give us a holy fear. God does not put fear in our hearts with supernatural glimpse. No, he instill fear to us through His Word.

Does it mean that God created fear in our hearts only if we read the Bible? No, not at all. It happens when you consciously decide to follow the word of God in everything we read. "Ezra had given his heart the Lord of Law to study, monitor it and to teach in Israel the law and the law." (Ezra 7:10)

The fear of God is not just the Old Testament thing. It is mentioned in both Testaments. The Old Testament says: "Fear the Lord and to shy away from evil." (Proverbs 3:7) Similarly, the New Testament declares: "There is no fear of God before their eyes." (Romans 3:18) Paul continues: cleanse all the pollutions of the flesh and spirit, complete sanctification, placing the fear of God. " (2 Cor. 7:1)
