Luke 12:4-5 (NKJV) 4 \u201cAnd I say to you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. 5 But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear Him who, after He has killed, has power to cast into hell; yes, I say to you, fear Him<\/span>!<\/p>\n

The fear of God is something that not many people want to teach or want to talk about.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s uncomfortable and can sometimes cause heated discussions.<\/p>\n

Nobody likes to think of God as one to be feared. They prefer instead to think of His love, mercy and compassion.<\/p>\n

But speaking only of God\u2019s kinder attributes creates a lopsided image of Him; an image that\u2019s not wholly accurate.<\/p>\n

And those kinds of things can lead to perverted faith that honors something and someone who God is not; a pacifist who never disciplines and never chastens those He loves.<\/p>\n

The word of God teaches us repeatedly that we need to fear Him. It is right there in black and white.<\/p>\n

Even Jesus, the One that most people think of when they think of God\u2019s incredible love, taught this Biblical principal of fearing God.<\/p>\n

This truth is foundational to knowing God in His fullness.<\/p>\n

Let us not water down who God is just to make people comfortable or try to make God more acceptable to them. He is who He is.<\/p>\n

It is God in His fullness who sets us free. And it is knowing everything we can know about Him that creates a more complete relationship with Him.<\/p>\n
