THE FEAR OF THE LORD
Pr 1:7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline.
Pr 9:10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
Pr 15:33 The fear of the LORD teaches a man wisdom, and humility comes before honor.
Jesus said, "I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more. But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear him who, after the killing of the body, has power to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him." Luke 12:4,5
And Peter writes, "If you call on the Father, who without partiality judges according to each one’s work, conduct yourselves throughout the time of your stay here in fear" 1Peter 1:17
Therefore let us evaluate our attitude towards God as to whether or not we truly fear the Lord. For one cannot mature in the Christian life without such an attitude.
