Any thoughts??
FEAR. The Bible uses numerous words to denote fear. The most common of these (giving the noun forms) are Heb. yir’â,
‘reverence’; Heb. paḥaḏ,
dread’, ‘fear’; Gk. phobos,
‘fear’, ‘terror’. Theologically, four main categories can be suggested.
There is a good fear that is necessary and keeps us on the right path...a healthy fear of God.. Reverence of who and what God is as we are his creation, he is not our creation. ....
He designed us for HIS PLEASURE not our Pleasure...yet we have great pleasure when we abide in HIS Laws of LOVE...
There is a fear of the Lord in His anger against those who destroy others...and do evil...the entire bible speaks about the terror to come on those who continue to be wicked and do evil...and these have no fear of God...funny how that works...we who love the Lord have a fear of God out of reverence for HIM as our maker...and these who do evil...have NO FEAR OF GOD...
Hope that was helpful ... I have a fearful reverence for who HE IS...
In Christ's love
