A Place For Trembling And Proper Fear Of The Lord
26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, 27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. —Hebrews 10:26-27 (KJV)
30 For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people. 31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. —Hebrews 10:30-31 (KJV)
28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: 29 For our God is a consuming fire. —Hebrews 12:28-29 (KJV)

A Place For Trembling
- Even as Paul described by combining "fear and trembling" (Philippians 2:12)
- The Greek word for "trembling" is tromos (a trembling or quaking with fear)
- Just as one would likely tremble in the presence of one who could take our life, so Jesus taught us to "Fear The Lord" (Matthew 10:2)
- Reverence and awe...
- Being afraid to offend God in any way...
- A passionate desire to please God in any way, which requires great sacrifice.
- A trembling and quaking if one knows they have offended God and have not obtained forgiveness.
