Where
there is no fear of God there is no love for God.
These
are two sides of the same coin.
Scripture
tells us that Christ Jesus delighted in the fear of the Lord.
(Isaiah
11:3)
Scripture
tells us that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.
(Proverbs 9:10)
God
Almighty is Holy and cannot change. Everything in Heaven is holy.
Nothing
defiled can enter Heaven.
God
calls us to be perfect as He is prefect. (Matthew 5:48)
This
is the awesome requirement of God Almighty for each of us.
How
can we achieve this requirement? We cannot.
Only
Christ Jesus can achieve this.
Only
by allowing Christ to live in and through us are we be acceptable to
God;
Only
by our submission to His will and His Way.
It
is Christ in us our hope of glory and nothing less. (Titus 2:13)
King
David was a man after God's own heart. (1 Samuel 13:13-14)
The
Psalms attest to the depth of his heart toward God.
He
feared and loved God.
The
Bride Of Christ is a woman after God's own heart.
She
worships her great God in Spirit and in Truth
She
gives up her life in this life to obtain His LIFE.
She
lives by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.
She
pursues God as the greatest treasure there could be.
She
is full of the oil of the Holy Spirit.
She
uses those giftings God has given her.
She
knows God and is known by God.
She
fears and loves God.
God
said to the Israelites:
'Oh,
that their hearts would be inclined to fear me
And
keep all my commands always,
So
that it might go well with them and their children forever!
(Deuteronomy 5:29)
[Fear
of God is the motivation to keep His commandments.
If one loves this fear,
then he understands as he ought to.]
Moses told the
Israelites:
'The Lord commanded
us to obey all these decrees
And to fear
the Lord our God,
So that we might
always prosper and be kept alive,
As is the case
today. (Deuteronomy 6:24)
The
fear of the Lord leads to LIFE:
Then
one rests content, untouched by trouble. (Proverbs 19:23)
He
(God) will be the sure
foundation for your times,
A
rich store of salvation and wisdom and knowledge;
The
fear of the Lord is the key to this treasure. (Isaiah 33:6)
Therefore
my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—
Not
only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—
Continue
to work out your salvation with fear and trembling,
For
it is God who works in you to will
And to act according to his good
purpose. (Philippians
2:12-13)
Today,
why is our nation and the nations of the world falling apart?
They
have lost the fear of the Lord.
Wherever
there is no fear of God the devil rules
And there is confusion and
chaos;
There
is stealing, killing and destroying.
Wherever
there is no fear of God there is no love of God.
Where there is no love
for God all is hopeless.
Nevertheless, there is
all hope for those of us who fear and love God. Hallelujah!
