Billy Graham: The Fear Of The Lord Is A Good Thing!
May 22, 2017 by Will Maule - HELLO CHRISTIAN
God should be feared, in the right way.
The fear of the Lord does not mean that we are frightened and scared of Him. He is our heavenly Father and thus is kind, gentle and good. But a healthy fear of the Lord is also essential to living faithfully as a Christian.
"If God is only a strict, harsh, unforgiving judge who is only interested in punishing us when we get out of line, then I can understand why you find it hard to love Him," writes Billy Graham at BG Daily News. However, this is not the whole of God's character, as Graham explains.
"This isn’t the whole story!
Yes, God is holy and righteous, and every sin we commit is an offence against Him.
But God is also loving and compassionate – and He wants to forgive us and welcome us into His home forever!" God is not interested in only punishing us - He is a loving God."
"How do I know God loves us?" asks Billy.
"I know it because He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, into the world for one reason: to make our salvation possible. Do you want to know if God loves you?
Look at Christ, for He is the final proof of God’s love."
