RESPECT-FEAR OF THE LORD




Do you
Have a HEALTHY respect
For God


MORE than that
Do you have FEAR of the Lord


“The FEAR of the Lord
Is the BEGINNING of wisdom


ALL who follow
His precepts
Have good understanding


To him BELONGS eternal praise” Psalm 111:10


I do respect
And I DO fear God
BECAUSE I know
IF he ceased to love us
FOR just one second
We would die


I don’t want to die
But more than that
I WANT TO LIVE


I want to live
And LOVE the way GOD WANTS me/us too
The way Jesus did
Because
I don’t ever want
TO LET GOD DOWN


HE HAS
NEVER let me down
NOR will he you


FEAR OF THE LORD
Is not only respect
But it is the REVERENCE to
And FOR GOD


FEAR of the Lord
Is not only expected-suggested
But in the 12^th chapter of Ecclesiastes
And in Deuteronomy it is commanded
And it tells us
HOW it is done


“NOW all has been heard
Here is the conclusion
Of the matter


FEAR GOD
And KEEP his commandments
For this
IS the whole duty of man


For God
Will bring every deed
Into judgment
Including ever hidden thing
Whether it is good or evil” Ecclesiastes 12:13-14


“LOVE the Lord your God
With ALL your heart-and with all your soul
And with ALL your strength” Deuteronomy 6:5


Do you want to do GOOD
Do you want to do evil
You will be TRUE to your nature
WHATEVER IT IS


But KEEP in mind
FEARING the Lord is good


“Let ALL the earth
FEAR the Lord
Let ALL the people of the world
REVERE HIM” Psalm 33:8


And the BEST way
To fear the Lord
IS BY LOVING HIM
AND KEEPING HIS WORD


“Take the helmet of salvation
And the sword of the spirit
Which is the WORD OF GOD” Ephesians 6:17


And the way
To KEEP the WORD OF GOD
Is by keeping the commandments


And the way
To keep the commandments
Is by living a life of love


Jesus replied:


“LOVE the Lord your God
With ALL your heart
With ALL your soul
And with ALL your mind


This is the first
And greatest commandment
And the second is like it
LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF


ALL the Law and the Prophets
Hang on these two commandments” Matthew 22:37-40


So the TRUTH is:
IF we are living our lives out of love


THERE IS NOTHING TO FEAR
